[QUOTE="zakael19, post: 9846028, member: 7044099"] Oh, and for completeness, roughly how I run Threat Roll: GM: "You see Vader standing there as the door opens, his lightsaber humming. What do you do?" (I'm Telegraphing a Threat) Player: "I'm going to calmly approach him, slowly taking out my own saber. I want to try and engage him in banter and then strike suddenly when he least expects it." GM: "Uh ok interesting. Um, obviously the main threat here is death, right? A lightsaber does 4 harm on a good hit and Vader is scary. But if you pull this off, I think you'll do 2 harm in return? I'm not really sure what you're doing here exactly, how are you avoiding the threat?" Player: "Oh, I wanted to sucker him in and then like do a quick parry and sudden strike. I was thinking like a Finesse thing here." GM: "Ohhh, yeah. Ok. So given that, I think there's two threats here then. First, that he strikes you before you can pull that off - so threat of Failure. Second, the threat of death. Take that +1D and roll your finesse." [/QUOTE]
