List of Illustrations

I've completely rewritten the Challenge and MIB system to incorporate Solomon's Auction inherently. I think this is the first step towards revamping Scattershot to run on Experience Dice (Ex-Dice here). from http://scattershotdesign.blogspot.com/2006/02/ive-completely-rewritten-challenge-and.html

Challenge

Self-Applied is Modifier
  • Improves Chances

  • Increases Potential Result

  • Complicates Detail

  • Based on Ads, yields Gimmes

  • Based on Disads, yields Keepers

  • Instead of 'Whiff,' close results are as unmodified; misses are like minor Catastrophic Miss
Offering an Ex-Die, another player may Challenge
  • Makes an Roll More Difficult

  • Lessens Potential Result

  • Complicates the Detail

  • Can Specify the Alternate Result
Take the Challenge as a Keeper and roll or....
Offer more Ex-Dice to ignore the Challenge
  1. Take turns raising the 'pot' until....

  2. The highest bidder is the winner, Challenge is thus blocked or enforced

  3. Loser takes the 'pot' as Keepers from the winner

  4. No double jeopardy: roll continues without further Challenge (by Mike Holmes)
Anyone may take Loaners or receive aid from another players at any time

For Rules Disputes
  • Negotiate stakes to be clear to all present

  • The Non-contenders must suggest at least two compromises,an accepted compromise ends the Auction

  • Winner's stakes take effect
