>>5785558>Mechanics Cont.Using a True Ninja point will allow you to take the highest of the three rolls, making you succeed more often. In-combat your enemies will realize you’re going for the throat and they will respond in kind. Using these makes you more likely to succeed, but the world grows harsher in response.
Using a Will of Fire point won’t influence your rolls, but will vastly lower the consequences of failure and slightly increase the impact of succeeding. In-combat your opponents will realize that you aren’t out for blood and will generally meet you in the middle by being less lethal as well. Using these isn’t as glamorous and won’t improve your overall odds of success, but you’ll find that the world is a more friendly place.
Most of the time you can use either or, but only when it could at least make some amount of sense. A True Ninja point probably can’t be used on giving a friend a warm hug, and a Will of Fire point probably can’t be used to slit someone’s throat.
Your choice of action and the quality of your moves will influence the hidden DC of checks. Punching a Jonin in the face might require a 30, punching them in the face while they’re asleep might require a 20, as a quick example. Observation and certain abilities can reveal the DC you’ll need to hit on certain choices, but frankly I’ll probably be stingy about revealing it to keep things mysterious.
