Formidable Tasks [ XXXXX ]

Formidable tasks seem nigh impossible, and if you don’t take them seriously, your character may find them insurmountable. However, with proper planning, a well-trained and well-equipped character has a chance at success. Typical characters often fail at Formidable tasks (our focused character succeeds only one third of the time, and our general character has a less than 20 percent chance of succeeding). Even highly trained characters fail Formidable tasks more often than they succeed. If you need to make a Formidable check, you should make sure your character has all the advantages (in the form of proper gear, aid from others, and maybe Story Points) that they can find.

A Formidable task adds five Difficulty dice (d d d
d d ) to the skill check’s dice pool.
