Overcoming Challenges
Once the Narrator assigns a Difficulty rating
to the challenge, it’s time to see if the faeries
can overcome it.
First, the Narrator picks the relevant
Attribute—Body for physical tasks, Mind for
feats of intellect, charisma, or will, and Spirit
for tests of magic, luck, or courage. Selecting
the right Attribute is very easy once you listen
to how the players describe the actions of their
faeries in response to the challenge.
Then it’s up to the players to find out
whether their faeries overcome the challenge.
Roll one die for each point your faery has
in the relevant Attribute; for example, if your
sprite has a Body 4, you roll four dice to see
whether she can climb a giant beanstalk up to
a cloud.
An even number on a die counts as a
success. Set aside any dice with odd-numbered
results—they are simply ignored—and add up
only the successes.
Not only does a result of a 6 on a die count
as a success, it allows you to roll a bonus die.
You may end up rolling two, three, or even
more bonus dice this way if you roll multiple
sixes. Even results on the bonus rolls also are
added to your total as successes, and rolls that
come up with another 6 call for more bonus
dice, until no more sixes are rolled.
If the total number of successes after all
rolls and bonus rolls are counted equals or
exceeds the Difficulty, your faery succeeds
at the task. The Narrator describes what
happens, and may choose to base the degree
of success on how much you exceeded the
Difficulty.
