When you attempt something risky or react to an imminent threat within a scene challenge, envision your action and roll. If you act...

  • With speed, mobility, or agility: Roll +edge
  • With resolve, command, or sociability: Roll +heart
  • With strength, endurance, or aggression: Roll +iron
  • With deception, stealth, or trickery: Roll +shadow
  • With expertise, focus, or observation: Roll +wits

On a strong hit, you are successful and mark progress. On a strong hit with a match, mark progress twice.

On a weak hit, you are successful and mark progress, but also encounter a complication or setback. Envision what occurs and fill a clock segment.

On a miss, you fail, or a momentary success is undermined by a dramatic turn of events. Fill a clock segment and Pay the Price. On a miss with a match, fill two segments and Pay the Price.
