| Stress works just like a danger, only a Stress can be carried between Conflicts, and often represent ongoing dangerous situations or just changes that the character is dealing with. | Stress works just like a danger, only a Stress can be carried between Conflicts, and often represent ongoing dangerous situations or just changes that the character is dealing with. | ||
| + | === Opposition Pools === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Opposition pools are built the same way, if a character is opposed by a human or creature that can be similarly rated (the GM can estimate the asset levels). Or the GM may select a difficulty based on the scale given below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^Difficulty^Dice^Notes^ | ||
| + | |Routine Challenge|5|These are not things that are easy to do (don't roll if there' | ||
| + | |Difficult|10|This is not terribly hard to accomplish, but far harder than routine tasks. It has some substantial complications involved.| | ||
| + | |Hard|15|The complications for this are substantial, | ||
| + | |Formidable|20|Something few people would even attempt, this is a very difficult opposition to overcome.| | ||
| + | |Nigh Impossible|25|Even the most skilled and talented individuals would look at this level of difficulty askance.| | ||
| + | |||
| + | The GM should modify these levels to points in between, where appropriate. If a task seems a bit harder than routine, but yet not really difficult, a GM might select 7 dice as the opposition die pool. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In some ways, a GM may think of the difficulty in terms of the opposition being rated in dice like a character using 3 or so assets to oppose. A hard climb up a cliff might be thought of as High 6, Steep 4 and Tricky Handholds 5. This can provide inspiration when figuring how things like how a character might develop temporary assets to overcome the opposition, or what sorts of problems might occur as the results of mechanical consequences (see below). | ||
