Guyon Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Core 2e book had is a quick starter adventure called Bad things happen. In Scene 3 on page 413 there is an Ongoing Skill Challenges Target: 8 Duration: 5 minutes Success Requirement: 2 per Fated Failure Requirement: 1 per Fated Reading Ongoing Skill Challenges says all players must participate and each one needs to make 2 successes. My issue is that I am going run this with 5-6 players. And if just one of them draws a Black Joker, ace, two (maybe even a 3) the scenario fails. All we need is one catastrophic fail, right? Or is that 1 catastrophic fail for each player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didor Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 As far as I know the requirements aren't strictly per player. If you have 5-6 players you will need 10-12 successes total between players, including margins of success. However if your total failures from any player total 5-6 it leads to the catastrophic failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulumulu Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 And remember: Only Margins of Failure contribute towards the failure requirement (so one MoF for every five points by which the character's final duel total falls below the TN). If they just fail their Duel slightly and without generating any Margin(s) of Failure, nothing happens (the characters don‘t make any progress and might have to try again). Additionally – please correct me if I’m wrong – not every Fated has to participate in an Ongoing Challenge (provided that the logic of the Ongoing Challenge or the situation allows it, of course). So characters that are just "dismal" at certain skills may decide to step aside and let the other Fated do the job (useless bummers! ). Or they might have the possibility to "Assist" other characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you're playing with 5 players, they need 5 total failures to trigger the catastrophic failure. 2 hours ago, Hulumulu said: Additionally – please correct me if I’m wrong – not every Fated has to participate in an Ongoing Challenge (provided that the logic of the Ongoing Challenge or the situation allows it, of course).

Most Ongoing Challenges are this way, but there are a few that require everyone to participate (and they specifically note such in their text).
