SucceSS & FailureThe success or failure of a particular action is inuenced by anumber of factors skill and traini ng, inherent ability, an opposingcharacter, even the weather or envi ronment can aect t he outcome.All these factors can contribute dice to the dice pool. Once the poolhas been assembled and all those factors taken into account, it istime for the mechanics to get involved to help resolve the task.

The dice pool is rolled, and the symbols on the dice evaluated andcompared. A variety of outcomes are possible based on the combi-nation of symbols appearing on the dice.

The two most important symbols inuencing whether or not a tasksucceeds or fails are success and challenge symbols. Each chal-lenge symbol cancels one success symbol. If there is stil l at leastone success symbol remaining in t he pool results after taking intoaccount the challenge symbols, the task succeeds. I f there are no

success symbols left in the pool results, the task fails.
