A rules question re: Resistance rolls.
When you make a resistance roll to avoid a consequence, are you then obligated to accept the stress and avoid the consequence, or can you then decide you liked the consequence better after all?
Like, lets say a character is doing the proverbial leap from rooftop to rooftop and they blow it and drop to the street below. Maybe I decide to assign them lesser harm in the form of a twisted ankle. The player decides to roll resistance, but rolls really badly – they’d take 5 stress to avoid that consequence, and that would cause trauma because the character already has some stress. Can the player decide to take the twisted ankle instead?
My instinct says ‘no’, because otherwise trauma doesn’t seem like it would happen practically ever, but I wanted to get the official word.
