You do not *just* make up numbers.

In HQ2 you have a Base resistance.

You then judge what kind of resistance the framed contest warrants.

Nearly Impossible = Base +M2
Very High = Base +9
High = Base +6
Moderate = Base
Low = Base –6
Very Low = Base –M or 6, whichever is lower

The base resistance is set at what you judge is right for the current episode.
