<h2>Objective</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You use this action when you want to make progress towards one of your goals
|
|
within the conflict — either one you had established at the start of the
|
|
scene, or one you just realized you want to achieve. You might make an attempt
|
|
at negotiation, sneak past a group of guards, begin work on a magical Ritual,
|
|
grab a target and try to immobilize them, pull a lever to activate a
|
|
mechanism, and so on.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Describe what you want to accomplish and how you intend to approach it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Needless to say, you can only pursue a goal if you have a reasonable way
|
|
to achieve it — the <strong>Game Master</strong> has final say on which
|
|
actions can be performed, but should do their best to allow a variety of
|
|
different approaches.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|

|

<p>
|
|
Since Objective gets you closer to what you want to achieve within the
|
|
conflict, it will always require a Check.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If your goal is opposed by another participant in the conflict scene,
|
|
the Check will be an Opposed Check against them. Even if multiple
|
|
participants can oppose you, only one of them will perform the Check —
|
|
this should be the most capable among your adversaries.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Otherwise, it will be an Attribute Check.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your goal is simple enough—such as leaping past a chasm or climbing a
|
|
rope—you will likely accomplish it with a single successful
|
|
<strong>Check</strong>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Most of the time, your goal will be complex enough to involve the use of a
|
|
<strong>Clock</strong> — especially if achieving it brings you closer to
|
|
winning the conflict.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your Check is successful, you alter the
|
|
<strong>Clock</strong> in your favor — which, based on the Clock in
|
|
question, means filling or erasing a certain number of sections, as
|
|
previously explained on <a href="/books/core/#page-53">page 53</a>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>One section for succeeding.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
An additional section for beating the Difficulty Level or the opponent's
|
|
roll by three (3) or more, or two additional sections for beating it by
|
|
six (6) or more.
|
