    Challenge information

    Narrow, Monstrous Anatomy 3 (50% base) || 0 - high-risk (20%) || 1 - high-risk (30%) || 2 - tough (40%) || 3 - very chancy (50%) || 4 - chancy (60%) || 5 - modest (70%) || 6 - very modest (80%) || 7 - low-risk (90%) || 8 and above - straightforward (100%)

    The difficulty is ( Parabolan Ferocity / 2, rounded up).

    Success

    A sure shot

    • Monstrousanatomy sidebarsmall.png Monstrous Anatomy is increasing… (+1 CP, up to level 5 + Monstrous Studies)
    • Knifesmall.png Your quarry has become less fierce. (Decreases Parabolan Ferocity by 1 + Monstrous Anatomy See below)
      • Wiki note: The above is the intended formula for Parabolan Ferocity reduction, however there is currently a technical bug which means that for Monstrous Anatomy values > 15 it reduces it by 8, no matter the Monstrous Anatomy

    Failure

    Wrong place!
