Actions and Resolution
As shown in the Core Mechanic all actions taken or attempted by a character are resolved by making dice rolls. These rolls are made against two types of difficulties: Target Successes and Opposed Difficulties. Target successes are done anytime that a character is attempting to perform an action either against an Attribute or Skill. Opposed Difficulties occur anytime that two parties are involved in a contest. Both roll against their appropriate skill or attribute. Depending on the situation it can be as easy as the one with the lower roll wins the contest. Other times characters must meet or beat the other character's total number of successes, where partial successes count against the total successes.

Famous quotes containing the words actions and, actions and/or resolution:
“From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a man’s actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Therefore all just persons are satisfied with their own praise. They refuse to explain themselves, and are content that new actions should do them that office. They believe that we communicate without speech, and above speech, and that no right action of ours is quite unaffecting to our friends, at whatever distance; for the influence of action is not to be measured by miles.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land, and my home after all was down in de old cabin quarter, wid de ole folks, and my brudders and sisters. But to dis solemn resolution I came; I was free, and dey should be free also; I would make a home for dem in de North, and de Lord helping me, I would bring dem all dere.”
—Harriet Tubman (c. 1820–1913)
