==== | ==== Circumstantial Bonuses ==== | ||
If you perform well on one skill that impacts another skill, then your MC might grant you a circumstantial bonus on the second skill check. This might be as low as a +1 or as high as a +5, depending upon what the MC feels is appropriate to the situation. | If you perform well on one skill that impacts another skill, then your MC might grant you a circumstantial bonus on the second skill check.

==== Skill Crits ==== | |||
When you make an attribute check, if you critically fail, then the worst possible outcome of the scene befalls you. This might range in severity from being publicly embarrassed by a rival socialite to missing a foothold on a sheer cliff and plummeting to your death. If you crit on an attribute check, then you achieve the best outcome that it was feasible for you to achieve. A crit does not defy reality. If you crit on a STR check with the Athletics skill, for example, then you still cannot lift an entire castle, but you might lift more than you have ever managed before. | |||
'''Note:''' No matter how many abilities you have that let you increase your crit range, your crit range can never be larger than 16-20. | |||
