Rupture Table

What happens when the Tension Pool rolls 1s. Severity scales with the number of 1s shown.

1s Rolled	Severity	Effect
1	The Shiver	Atmospheric shift. Temperature drops 20°. Shadows detach from objects. Animals flee. Mechanic: All ECHO and SAVVY checks suffer −1 die for the scene.
2	The Warp	Reality glitch. Gravity shifts momentarily. A door leads to the wrong room. A dead NPC twitches. Mechanic: Firearms jam on rolls of 1-2 until cleaned. Technology malfunctions.
3	The Breach	Manifestation. A creature crawls through the nearest reflection, shadow, or wound in reality. Mechanic: Combat begins immediately.

The Rupture is the moment the slow clock chimes. Most sessions never see one. The sessions that do are remembered.
