Detection

Written By The Developer

Developer Notes: Did you see that?

Detection Checks: (v:20 + Awareness)

In 90% of situations our Characters are simply aware of what is in their surroundings. We also have Awareness States, which affect our Variable Challenges. At most times we can assume our Detection is static at (15 + Awareness +/- Awareness State)

Awareness States

  • Sleeping: -10

  • Distracted: -5

  • Focused: -5 (+5 if the Awareness Challenge is the Focal Point of the Character)

  • Normal: 0

Stealth? • In Development •

We are working on an advanced stealth mechanic. For now, we suggest using the Physical Prowess Mechanic as an addon to the actions they take, to see if they go unnoticed.

The Story Guide’s Notes

You see it first. Every Variable Check Challenge at the table takes up time. We like to take in what our Character’s formations are. Who’s vigilant, who’s studying? who’s driving? Asking yourself who would see it first? Then make your move.

If you stumbled here by accident, that’s all gravy. We use these pages in our archives as templates, style guides, reference content, and reusable assets. I’m also getting to write the FAQ, which is fun.
