I've been meaning to ask these two questions for some time, but keep
forgetting....
First, if a person rolls a high enough Quickness roll to get say, six or
seven cards, granted he can only have five, but is he allowed to take all
seven & drop the lowest two, or just take the first five?>>>>> I personally haven't ever handled it that way. Probably just to avoid the extra time spent doing that (combat has enough things to slow it down already) If you don't mind that though, I say go for it. The rules don't address it either way<<<<<<<
Second, if a player makes a Tale Tellin' roll, does he have to tell the
complete truth? A 'fer instance' there, we dealt with a band of CSA
soldiers that had been killed, raised up as walkin' dead, & terrorizing the
locals. Now, could our tale tellin' player just tell the townsfolk it was
just a band of CSA deserters, & we settled their hash, & just leave out the
"dead" part?
>>>>>>> What was the fear level before the tale tellin'? If it was a 1, then maybe so. If it was higher than that, then the people must have feared something stranger than just CSA soilders. If that's the case, then I would rule that you must address what the people feared. I guess it boils down to the idea behind tale tellin'. When you do it, there's supposed to be a risk involved, either from those who don't want you to spread the "truth" or from failing the roll and increasing the fear level. If you lie, then you're getting the bonus legend chip without risk. Telling them it was just CSA deserters might sit well with the Rangers or the Agency but why would the fear level go up if you failed the roll.>>>>>>>Shotgun Harry
