<h2>ADVANCING A CLOCK</h2>
|
|
<p>In general, Clocks advance through Checks:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fill one section for a successful Check.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fill an additional section if the Result of the Check surpassed the
|
|
Difficulty Level (or the opponent's Result in case of an Opposed Check) by 3
|
|
or more, or two additional sections if it was by 6 or more.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If the Check was a critical success, the corresponding opportunity may be
|
|
spent to fill two additional sections.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Vice versa, Clocks that represent a threat gradually fill as characters fail
|
|
Checks, especially if they fail them by a wide margin:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fill one section for a failed Check.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fill an additional section if the Result of the Check is lower than the
|
|
Difficulty Level (or the opponent's Result in case of an Opposed Check) by 3
|
|
or more, or two additional sections if it was by 6 or more.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If the Check was a fumble, the corresponding opportunity may be spent to
|
|
fill two additional sections.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
<strong>Example:</strong> While sneaking her way through the monster-infested
|
|
corridors of an ancient castle, Valea rolls a 6 on a Check with Difficulty
|
|
Level 10. The Game Master fills two sections on the "Ambushed!" Clock — one
|
|
for her failure, and another because she failed the Check by three or more.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>CLOCKS AND THE STORY</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Clocks should always interact with what happens in the story. The Game Master
|
|
should use situational modifiers and adjust the Difficulty Level to represent
|
|
advantages or disadvantages derived from the Players' choices and the events
|
|
that are taking place in the scene.
