Ok, I'm really sorry, but I am completely lost on the mechanics of what is happening here. I've been super busy, and this system is new to me, very sorry!I understand that folks are expending effort to reduce the difficulty level of the task. But if one expends effort now, how do we gain it back? Is there a benefit to saving it?
I see a lot of "vs 6" in the die rolls. I have no idea what that means.
I understand that I am rolling a d20 and that I am using speed or might. My speed is better, is there a bonus or advantage from that? Also, I have 1 edge in speed, what does that do for me?
I'm sorry for slowing things up! I learn best on the fly like this (as opposed to reading examples), thanks for your patience everyone!
You can expend points from your might or speed pool to reduce the difficulty by one step, lowering the roll needed to a 6.
It costs 3 points from your pool to reduce the difficulty by that single step.
Your speed edge of 1 reduces the speed cost by one, lowering the cost of expending that effort down to 2 points.
So you can try at the base difficulty of 9 OR you can spend 2 points from your speed pool to lower your required roll down to a 6.
