Upgrading or Downgrading

Upgrading or Downgrading Success and Failure

Success and Failure can by Upgraded or Downgraded through the use of certain Masteries, Item Effects, Abilities, or the Mettle Action.

When Upgrading the level of Success advance along the following list from your starting level of Success and move up once per Upgrade.

Critical_Failure>Failure>Success>Critical_Success


To Downgrade the level of Success simply advance along the inverse of the above list.

Failure and Success may never be Upgraded or Downgraded beyond Critical_Failure or Critical_Success respectively.

Example: Marty the Merc rolls a Success on a pending Attack. As the target of this Attack his foe Joe Hammerhand uses the Mettle Action to Downgrade the Attack to a Failure.

Example 2: Marty rolls another Attack. The Attack this time however is a Critical_Failure. Joe cannot Downgrade Marty's Attack any further even if he wanted to. Marty has an Ability or Item that allows him to Upgrade his Critical_Failure to a Failure and uses it. Joe can once again use the Mettle Action to Downgrade the Failure back to a Critical_Failure.
