Gameplay

In Progress…

This page should cover gameplay basics and link to advanced ones.

How much does my stat progress when I succeed, or fail, a challenge?

Change points for challenges (failure/success):

• straightforward, low-risk: 1/1
• modest 2/2
• chancy: between 2/2 and 3/3
• high-risk 3/4
• almost impossible: 3/5

Remember: this are change points - and not score progression. So succeeding a high-risk Persuasive challenge with Persuasive 81 will not improve my Persuasive to 85.

What are the odds of a matter of luck?

.
A matter of luck challenges:
.

• a sure thing, or is it? - 90% (?) you can be unlucky here
• pretty good odds - 70% (?)
• it could go either way - 50%?
• the odds are against you here - 30% (?)
• a long shot…but you might win. - 10% (?)
