[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5718332, member: 6668292"] I don't like a system that begs a house rule to help fill in a potential narrative conflict. I'd rather the system deal with it. That said, I'm a big fan of systems that really help you "house rule", and things like page 42 are very nice (in my opinion). Again, though, if it was me, I'd be a little annoyed (not greatly or anything) that the check was being used in a way I didn't intend it to be used. I'm trying to investigate the game as it currently stands, and my investigation is altering the past fiction (just how bad the wound was) based off of my investigation. To an extent, I'd consider this nearly retconning (nothing has actually been replaced, but past fiction is now being filled in). That's probably very true. As I said, though, it's going to justifiably cause some people to dislike the way the game operates. This happens no matter what (your view of 3.X mechanics did the same), but it boils down to preference more than what's "right" or "wrong". Which leads me, of course, to play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
