> I wasn't sure whether I was reaching to suggest you could use actions to create situational modifiers. That's cool.
Sounds very FATE-like, but I don't see why not.
I think the point of what you quote is that most of the time, it's simpler to wrap things up in a resistance, and not have the GM put modifiers on the player. But sure, if the player changes the situation, there could certainly be a modifier.
> Well, I'm wondering if it's possible to do a "group assist", i.e. you could take a "multiple opponent penalty" of -3 to your ability for additional target after the first, and actually make your assist against more than one person.
Sounds pretty complex, though perhaps if you remove more than one RP you could split that among multiple friends.
> As for RP going down - that's the rules, isn't it? The assist rules on p42-43 clearly show assists subtracting RP from a teammate - "An assist is an attempt to reduce a comrade's resolution points.", etc.
Yes, but I think Jamie was pointing out that it's *a* comrade.
> Thanks for the reply - even with the situational modifiers, that's bringing a lot more variation to contests! :-)
BTW, do you use extremely extended contests? Different sort of variation.
