A few new questions: Can the PC’s resist consequences of Entanglement rolls?
Not To Be Trifled With and Sharpshooter: How long do these abilities last? For only one action? Watching Roll Play Blades, it appeared that they lasted multiple actions, even for the entirety of a battle. Is this generally true? If so, does the +1d/+1 effect/etc last as well, or does the PC need to push themselves again to gain that benefit a second time?
As always, thanks for the advice and answers.
A: No. Entanglements aren’t consequences in that particular game mechanical sense, they’re a separate part of the fiction that’s more about Doskvol’s actions independent of the PCs. So you can’t resist them any more than you could resist a faction declaring war on you.
B: That’s really a table decision. In my game, we’ve generally limited them to one action, but I think they’ve lasted a bit longer if it made sense in the narrative.
For B: Remember that an action can resolve a whole obstacle. If your Cutter is faced with a small gang of like-Tiered foes, he can invoke Not To Be Trifled With and with a good Skirmish roll, dispatch all of them.
Then, if another group of thugs shows up, sure, he can invoke NtBTW again and try another Skirmish.
Thanks for the replies. I’m glad to know I got the Entanglement question right on my own. Good to have confirmation.
