OOC:
@Vilenax: I'll get you caught up to the others real quick and explain a few things before you roll. Firstly, you should write down that you have been awarded both +1 Exertive INS and +1 of whichever type of INS you desire (Exertive, Decisive, or Emotive).OOC:
Inspiration (INS):- Used as a positive modifier, INS adds a +1 to the result of a roll for every point of it spent.
- INS is earned as either Exertive INS, Decisive INS, or Emotive INS, each of which can only be used for actions that are using either of the two Traits they individually govern.
- Each INS type holds up to 6 INS each and can be stored as long as the player likes until they are ready to use it on something.
- Any INS earned pass the cap of 6 however is lost, so holding onto large supplies of INS risks wasting some that could have otherwise been awarded to you.
OOC:
Once you have decided this, it's time to roll. How to perform a Trait Check:
(Step 1) Determine which of your 6 Traits is most applicable to the action being attempted.
(Step 2) The GM decides whether or not ADV (Advantage) or DIS (Disadvantage) applies to the action the player wishes to attempt, or whether neither of them will apply.
- ADV allows the player to roll the d20 twice, picking the higher of the two rolls.
- DIS forces the players to roll the d20 twice, picking the lower of the two rolls.
(Step 3) Any positive or negative modifiers are applied to the action.
- All of which being: INS (Inspiration), Burdens, Reservations, Assists, and Confidence (each detailed in separate posts)
(Step 4) The player rolls one or more d20s, applying their modifiers to one or both. The outcome of this roll gives one of several different results the GM will interpret and narrate.
OOC:
(Step 1: Sounds like you are taking a pretty big risk here trying to "get up high". I would say you're using the Boldness Trait, which you have a Degree of Occasionally in.) (Step 2: I determine that neither ADV or DIS applies to the action.) (Step 3: You have INS you could use if you desire, but will also be rolling with your Reservation due to the risk involved.)OOC:
Reservations:- If the Trait you are using for a roll has a Reservation whose description requires you to use it, this Reservation will impose a negative modifier of -2 to the roll.
- If you successfully perform the action while using this Reservation however, you will award every other player with +1 INS to the type that you just used and that your Reservation was associated with: Exertive, Decisive, or Emotive.
- You will also earn +1 High-Growth, which can be used to eventually alter the Degree of the Trait you just used that your Reservation was derived from.
