|
||
- Determine the outcome of an action
|
||
- Use a **Obstacle (Ob.)** to determine **Outcome**
|
||
- **AWQ** exclusively uses **D6** for checks
|
||
|
||
## Outcomes{% Sidenote #outcome-fallbacks marker="§" content="Not all actions ship with the complete set of outcomes, so if a specific outcome is missing, use the following fallbacks: **Boons** become **Failures**, **Complications** become **Successes**, and a missing **Boon** is considered a **Success**" type="crunch" /%}
|
||
|
||
- **Bane(⊗):** Action fails spectacular
|
||
- **Failure(⊖):** Action simply fails
|
||
- **Complications(⊜):** Action succeeds but with a *Twist*
|
||
- **Success(⊕):** Actions succeeds
|
||
- **Boon(⊛):** Actions succeeds with additional benefits
|
||
|
||
## Check Modifiers
|
||
|
||
### Favour & Peril
|
||
|
||
- **Favour (⥣):** Increase chance of success
|
||
- **Peril (⥥):** Increase chance of failure
|
||
- **Resolution:** Multiple instances cancel each other
|
||
- `Peril > Favour`: Roll is *perilous*
|
||
- `Peril = Favour`: Normal roll
|
||
- `Favour > Peril`: Roll is *favourable*
|
||
|
||
### Re-Rolls(⧆)
|
||
|
||
- Re-rolled result is always final result
|
||
- One attempt per check (Exception: *Dark Deals*)
|
||
- **Sources:**
|
||
- *Luck Points:* Spend 1 **LP**
|
||
- *Dark Deals:* Suffer 1 **Corruption**
|
||
- *Pushing:* Suffer 1 **Fatigue** or **Stress**
|
||
|
||
#### Pushing
|
||
|
||
- If initial roll was a *Bane* and succeeds after the *pushing*, the outcome becomes a *Complication*
|
||
- Cost of a *Push,* depends on the check's **Characteristic**{% Sidenote #push-cost marker="" content="**Fatigue:** **WS**, **BS**, **S**, **T**, **Ag**<br/>\n**Stress:** **I**, **Dex**, **Int**, **WP**, **Fel**" type="crunch" /%}
