[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 8253456, member: 6696971"] [B]ON POST-ADVENTURE LEGEND (HEAT) AND QUEST (INCARCERATION)[/B] Alright, what works? * Proportionate exposure = proportionate Legend increase (orthodox Blades). So the standard model is good here. * Add +1 Legend for a powerful or well-connected target. * Add +1 Legend if the situation happened beyond the walls of the Town. * Add + 1 Legend if you're at war with another Faction. What doesn't work? * Body count cannot increase Legend. Monsters/bad guys are going to be slain. We don't want that to be a complicating or disincentivizing factor on play. What do we want? This is what I'm thinking: * Add + 2 Legend if you took something from a powerful entity: Mysteries, Precious (domain or loot), Status. [B] [HR][/HR][/B] [SIZE=1][S]Incarceration just does not work. How can the Company decrease its Impending Doom Level (if it even wants to)? * [B]QUEST [/B]for a powerful Faction or a high Magnitude Entity (Monster or Planar Power) that it has Negative Faction or an otherwise complication Relationship with.[/S][/SIZE] [S] [SIZE=1]A Quest will take either a PC or a Cohort or a group/mix of the two out of the game for a number of Adventures in proportion to Impending Doom Level and the Company reduces Impending Doom Level by 1 and clears Legend.
