-Ability Contest for a simple effect.
-Simple Contest against hero abilities (and sometimes against any
other's)
Any other ideas?>>
I use both of these with, for example, "scared of rubble runners" contested with "brave", or "old age taken it's toll" for an endurance test that no *other* self respecting hero would fail at (simple contest).
<< I'm thinking in flaws augmenting resistance or as penalties for the hero's abilities (weak?), but I'm not sure how to deal with that.>>
I do not think this works with flaws because they are really quite weak, (and
without much chance of increasing) so the effect is not worth bothering
about. I feel that if Gardangar the Cruel has a "drunkeness" flaw they should
suffer more than -1 on, for example, their resistance to someone trying to
persuade them/seduce them/bribe them etc. who has first offered them booze.
Gardangar's "Hate Lunars" ability is his highest so I feel that the
"Drunkeness" should tied to this, getting higher as his hate grows, while his
"loyal to clan"
remains constant and therefore less useful when a lunar hating clan enemy
tempts him with ale to do something nasty to Lunars but against the clan
interest.
