Actually, upon further review: Win Button and Fail Button do not even require rolling and they ignore modifiers. If you play the Win Button, you got a Legendary+4. If you play the Fail Button, your opponent suffers epic fail. --[[User:Comorro|Comorro]] 22:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

More than one roll, yes. Hence the question in the 'singlehandedly invading a planet' bit (which yes, is intentionally overblown, replace it with a smaller area for something more sensible) being more for the Superiority Complex, which promises Leg+4 for an entire scene. This is also why I'm asking if there's any kind of limit intended on how long the 'scene' lasts. - In a more general sense the question comes out to something like: Just how much can one do with that final card anyway?

As for the NPCs, are they valid as a defensive element against other characters?

Revision as of 18:06, 12 January 2010

I want to avoid being nitpicky, but I did have a couple questions about some of these:

"Note: Cards that grant bonuses or inflict penalties are for use in refereed situations against the situation at hand or vs. an NPC opponent. They are not intended for use against other players."

The immediate question coming to mind are the Win Button and Superiority Complex (The Leg+4s). I get the idea of 'automatic success.' Are they subject to modifiers, for one? (Notably that even if they are, and -4 is the conventional max, it's still a success) Secondly, while I'm aware the latter is meant to do something suitably epic, how does the intent of their usage work with something like 'singlehandedly invading a planet?' Is there some kind of 'time limit' or somesuch on it?


Single-handedly invading a planet? I stop people from one-step stealth assassinating NPCs - it would take far more than one taskroll to invade a planet.

And, yes, the cards are ALL subject to modifiers. If someone gives you a -3 difficulty, you adjust based on the positive modifier of the card. --Comorro 22:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
