I don't think you fill in 5 stress boxes if the damage exceeds the defense by 5.  I think you're supposed to fill in your 5th stress box which leaves you able to take 4, 3, 2, and 1 damage.<br/><br/>For example:<br/><br/>Defendo has just taken 5 damage -- [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]  [ x ]  [ ]<br/><br/>The next round, Defendo only takes 3 damage -- [ ] [ ] [ x ] [ ] [ x ] [ ]<br/><br/>If Defendo were to take 3 damage in the next round, he'd have to fill in his 4th stress box since his 3rd is already full --  [ ] [ ] [ x ] [ x ] [ x ] [ ]<br/><br/>This means that Defendo could still take 6 damage and still not receive a consequence since I believe you only get a consequence when you cannot fill in any stress box --<br/><br/>[ x ] [ x ] [ x ] [ x ] [ x ] [ x ]  This person would take a consequence if he/she receives any damage...<br/><br/>[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ x ]  while this person would only take a consequence if they received damage which was greater than or equal to 6.<br/><br/>Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone, but this is how I understood it.
