[QUOTE="ekb, post: 6039268, member: 60999"] The 50% break is more accurately expressed as 2+2 (average stat + moderate training/little training+taking an extra turn for prep). Such maths don't entirely apply here. It's all about the Company rules for this scenario. Pretty much every "character" runs one of The Empire's resources (@5d - it's The Empire, after all) and so for any action, there's 10d - a virtual certainty of at least 1 set. The Risk in this scenario comes from the fact that there's a lot going on, so flopping 5d down with your partner is going to drop a lot of the other balls/chainsaws being juggled. While splitting a pool up this way normally means whiffing when rolling d10s, we're talking about a hand of cards that can be "tuned" so as not to whiff out... but at the expense of risking not getting [I]everything[/I] done in favor of getting what the player considers [B]most[/B] important done. Which the World and other players react to. Lather rinse repeat. [LIST] [*]The [URL="http://tarotgames.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/using-tarot-with-the-one-roll-engine/"]house rules[/URL] in question. [*]How that looks in terms of [URL="http://tarotgames.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/ore-company-actions-table-format/"]company actions[/URL] chart.[/LIST] [/QUOTE]
