Uh... that's all well and good, but if I wanted to "make it all up as
you go," why on earth would I ever buy a scenario or rulebook?
There are numbers presented on Darsten's leadership diagram. I presume

set of rules or guidelines. I'd just like to know that I've interpreted
the numbers correctly.
