So I've held my third session of Through the Breach with three players, and we all love it. However, I've got a couple of questions that I can't easily figure out from the books, all revolving around combat and Fatemaster characters.
Say, my characters messed up horribly, and are faced with three Death Marshals. One of the Marshals wants to use the Pine Box on one of the Fated, but he needs a Crow to cast. Is the following the correct procedure?
Determine acting values (10 for the Death Marshal, Wp for Fated)
Apply modifiers
Make Fated flip, add flip to Wp
If Crows and total < 10, Pine Box succeeds
If not-Crows or total >= 10, Pine Box fails
Similarly, what if they are faced with an Executioner? If he wants to trigger Bloody Exhibition, he needs a Ram and a Crow. Does that trigger on the Flip that the Fated make (i.e. the Active Card)? Where does one of the suits come from, considering only one can come from the Active Card and none of its stats have a built-in suit.
Or is this all done via the Card points the Fatemaster gets by using the enemies?
Hopefully I've explained my problems clearly.
