Essentially the characters are dumbass lowlifes, and one of the things you can put points into is Dumb Luck, where you declare two separate intents - one representing what you the player wants, and one representing what the character wants. On a basic success the character's intent fails but the player's intent succeeds; on a critical success you get both. So it generates results like missing an attack on an enemy goblin only to hit the button releasing a secret door, or failing to persuade a guard but attracting the notice of a recruiter for the rebels. It sort of models oafish, Thrud/Groo type characters.</p></blockquote><p></p>
