When you are in a bad spot and take action in a fight to avoid danger or overcome an obstacle, envision your approach and roll. If you are...

  • In pursuit, fleeing, dodging, getting back into position, or taking cover: Roll +edge
  • Remaining stalwart against fear or temptation: Roll +heart
  • Blocking or diverting with force, or taking the hit: Roll +iron
  • Moving into hiding or creating a distraction: Roll +shadow
  • Changing the plan, finding a way out, or cleverly bypassing an obstacle: Roll +wits

On a strong hit, you succeed and are in control. Take +1 momentum.

On a weak hit, you avoid the worst of the danger or overcome the obstacle, but not without a cost. Make a suffer move (-1). You stay in a bad spot.

On a miss, the situation worsens. You stay in a bad spot and must Pay the Price.
