The Augur Roll

The core resolution mechanic: pool your asset, read it against tension.

  • core
  • resolution
  • dice

The augur roll resolves any action whose outcome is in doubt.

How to roll

  1. Build a pool of dice equal to the relevant asset rating.
  2. Roll the pool and read it against the current tension threshold.
  3. Compare your highest die:
Result Outcome
Above threshold Success — you get what you want.
Equal Partial — success with a cost; tension rises.
Below Setback — the Guide makes a move.

Engrams

Spent engrams can add dice or reroll the pool, at the risk of drawing attention.
