- Conflict Resolution
- If called for, three players will roll a one-hundred sided die, potentially modified by the protagonist's traits, to determine their success on a given challenge. The result of each roll will be considered individually, and success will be determined based upon the number of dice which meet or exceed a difficulty class (DC). These DCs will also be modified based on the circumstances. I will usually be exceedingly transparent in how I determine a challenge's DC, but I will occasionally hide the details.
- To give an example of a challenge, say that a character with the Expert Climber (+30 to scaling surfaces) trait is attempting to reach the top of a sheer cliff. Normally this would be a DC 60 challenge. The cliff has plenty of handholds (DC -10) but it's pouring rain and the rocks are slick (DC +15), so three players will roll 1d100+30, hoping to beat a modified DC of 65. This character would have a 71.83% chance of getting at least two hits against this DC, while a character without the Expert Climber trait would only have a 28.17% chance of doing the same.
- Successes and failures are broken down as follows, where a 'hit' denotes that one of the dice rolled has passed the DC:
- 0 Hits: Severe Failure
- 1 Hits: Regular Failure
- 2 Hits: Regular Success
- 3 Hits: Great Success
- The standard DCs, and the probability of an unmodified series of rolls earning a Regular or Great Success against that DC, are as follows:
- DC 10: 97.2%; Why even roll?
- DC 20: 89.6%; Trivial
- DC 30: 78.4%; Routine
- DC 40: 64.8%; Challenging
- DC 50: 50.0%; Difficult
- DC 60: 35.2%; Hard
- DC 70: 21.6%; Very Hard
- DC 80: 10.4%; Herculean
- DC 90: 2.8%; Impossible
- DC 100: 0.0%; Why even roll?
