Difficulty Above 10

[Makes-No-Sense]

Hey Folks

In werewolf we run across difficulty modifers that stretch above and beyond 10.

HSTBadadam's staff are currently running with the ruling as follows:

For every 1 point of difficulty above 10 that an action requires, subtract an additional 2 dice from your roll.

To make a list for example...

diff 10 -6 dice
diff 11 -8 dice
diff 12 -10 dice
diff 13 -12 dice
diff 14 -14 dice
diff 15 -16 dice

Awesome - thank you!

Say your are attempting one of these and your dice pool is 0 or a negative number? Can you still roll? Do you have to win enough chops to dig yourself into positive successes?

Yes and yes.

For example.

You have 14 dice to swing in combat, but for how many millions of different stacking variables...your diff happens to be 14 (-14 dice) and you start at 0 successes.

You will still get the chance to test, but you must test up to suceed.

On a much scarier note, testing down into NEGATIVE successes will result in a botch.

The only time you do not get to roll for having 0 dice is from split actions and modifiers that specifically remove dice from your pool, and not dice removal from mod dot off setting fo rdifficulty.

An example of this. You have 5 dice to perform an action, but have 6 levels of damage on your character. You subtract 5 dice from your pool, before difficulty modifiers...if you have zero dice, no roll, you are unable to perform said action for whatever reason.

Another possible scenario with the dice loss = no test is from split actions in combat.
