First dumb question from me:

1. If I understood it right you first do an action.

   You describe the action and what effect it should have, how complex the effect is.

   So when you do the action and determine the result you fill the effect clock. If the effect clock is full the action will result in the effect, otherwise it will only be a partial success and you might have to try another action to get the effect.

2. Thanks Jennifer Fuss. That’s what I suspected. 

3. Yep, that’s right. You choose which action and effect to roll based on what your character is doing in the fiction.

4. Thank you +John Harper

5. Using Deceive for Insight effect would be…hmm. Dressing up like a priest and listening to the target in the confessional, or disguising yourself as a servant to listen in on some nobles (seriously, who notices servants?)

6. The choice of action + effect can also help the GM suggest a position to roll.

   “You want to use Mayhem to achieve Finesse? Okay… but that sounds a bit desperate to me.”

7. Awesome. I think I have it down.

8. I think the analogy he uses is really good, take most games you roll to hit, then roll to see how much damage was done. So the action is the roll to hit and the effect is the damage done or the impact. So sometimes you hit something and run it through, other times it’s just a scratch.
