First, if you think the Position and/or Effect should be different than what the GM has said, the book tells you to suggest that to the GM. “Wait, wouldn’t this be a Controlled situation since the guard has no idea I’m there?” and similar type things. Second, you can try to trade Position for Effect. So let’s say it’s Risky/Limited for you to Skirmish with an armored bluecoat. You say something like “what if I go all out offense - just don’t even worry about defense and put everything into one haymaker to try and take him out… is that possible?” The GM may say “sure… you can drop your position down to Desperate and then increase Effect from Limited to Standard. That’d be enough to take him out.”I don’t think the idea of negotiation is misplaced, given these kinds of elements.</blockquote>
