[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 8281562, member: 6696971"] And it doesn't have to just be GM side. Consider the implications of bringing in a Trait or a Relationship which has a d4 rider along with its d6 or d8 into a conflict in Dogs. Consider bringing in a gun and simply placing it on the table in a social conflict (which always has a d4 rider along with its typical d8). What you're saying as a player in that moment is "I know I'm very likely to eat some fallout and its going to erode/change my character long term....but I_want_[I]this[/I]_conflict. Its that important to me thematically." So your long term strategic move is very likely not the optimal one. But in that moment you're expressing who your character is (as a Dog, as a preacher's kid, as someone who will always stand for this tenant of The Faith, as someone trying to overcome your failed past with sorcery, etc).
