Q&A gameplay

I will use this thread to address some of questions (private or public) I've got asked. And I hope you will not hesitate to ask more questions.
Besides I don't intend to be rules expert and invite you to discuss or challenge anything I tell you here

So, let's revisit skill checks
- 10 is always the number, but DM may decide your action is either difficult or risky. I'm not doing that for first check but may - just to demonstrate the possibility - do that in next checks to come. Please don't freak out about my decisions - we are just learning the system, don't we

- Rules say "Each roll can only benefit from one statistic bonus at a time". In particular that means no more than one trigger could be used at a time. More over, your triggers

- Your skill skill triggers are not "feats" or "abilities". Please focus on role play what's your character is doing and treat trigger as simple reason to add +2 to your 1d20 roll
but don't forget you don't need to trigger. I would love to see your PC actions that help to make a better story over actions that allow you to easier add +2 and increase your chance to success bu some 10%.

Note: I hope this have answered all of the questions I've been asked so far, please do ask them here if you still have more questions. I prefer to limit game thread to game-play only

Note: while I suggested for first action to decide it based on 4 of your triggers, having a trigger is not a prerequisite. It is most important to describe what is your goal.
Even if your goal is something that is clearly defined in a trigger you don't have you can still take that action. i.e. of you don't have " PULL RANK" trigger you could have
Tried to "get information, resources, or aid from mechanics, maybe against their will."
Because mechanics certainly might respect your authority (military or otherwise) - read who is Lancer in rulebook. Even a LL0 lancer is respectable person.

At least that's how I understand it

I've double checked rules on "pushing it" and a forum post that explained it better
Let's not do it this time, but remember in future that when you decide to push I will be providing you a new consequences, like killing mechanic instead of knocking out in case of failed pushed roll. Or maybe they take You out instead.
