====== Multitasking ======
[[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking]] or performing a [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]] is the act of switching between one activity to another without disrupting the progress of the original.\\
\\
[[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Saves]] are triggered in the following 3 ways:
  * A <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> must perform a [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]] anytime they would perform an <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Actions:Action]]</wrap> during a [Ritual] that does not advance that [Ritual].
  * A <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> must perform a [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]] anytime they wish to continue a [Project]. This is not required when turning a [Ritual] into a [Project].
  * A <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> must perform a [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]] anytime they would take [Damage] during a [Ritual]. This also applies when a [Vehicle] that <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> is [Crewing] takes [Damage].
    *  When performing a [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]] in this way the <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:DC]]</wrap> is increased by the amount of [Damage] taken [Post-Mitigation].

When a <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> is prompted for a [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]], they do so by performing a <wrap preview>[[:Ratings:Will Save]]</wrap> of an <wrap preview>[[Game Mechanics:Definitions:Appropriate]]</wrap> <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:DC]]</wrap>, See below for suggested <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:DC|DC's]]</wrap>. Should a <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Failure|Fail]]</wrap> their [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]] they immediately lose all progress on the [Ritual] they were performing. Should a <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> <wrap preview>[[:Game_Mechanics:Success and Failure:Success|Succeed]]</wrap>, their [Ritual] progress is undisturbed.\\
\\
**Please Note**: Should this [Ritual] be an [Invocation], the <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> will suffer a [Miscast] upon <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Failure]]</wrap>. See [Invocation] for details.\\
\\
Under certain circumstances it may be <wrap preview>[[Game Mechanics:Definitions:Appropriate]]</wrap> to apply <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Property|Properties]]</wrap> to a pending [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking#Multitasking|Multitasking Save]]. See the table below for suggested <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Property|Properties]]</wrap> and why they may apply.
