Challenge information

Broad, Persuasive 100

  • 69 - very chancy (41%)
  • 85 - chancy (51%)
  • 102 - modest (61%)
  • 119 - very modest (71%)
  • 135 - low-risk (81%)
  • 152 - straightforward (91%)
  • 167 - straightforward (100%)

The difficulty is ("Base Persuasive" minus "equipment modifier"). Information above is for a combination total of 100 – e.g. 126 base and a 26 bonus from equipment. Note that such a character would have 152 Persuasive and therefore a chance of 91%.

Failure

Screaming on the riverbank
