x2 a day Trumps etc

[PotatoJedi]

I got a crit on the "draw true person" trump ability and discovered that the next one up is simply a "second time in a day" version. Logan and I both agreed that with the way we are doing things using skillwhoring 90% of the time for Trump creation that this was largely a useless ability. So, I have a suggestion on how to make it a bit more useful.

Let's say you have Trump 1 (the first one in the branch, whatever it might be), Trump 2 and Trump 3 (all part of the same branch). You're doing your skillwhoring. You make your paint roll, then your Trump 1 roll and succeed at both. This was a total of 2 of your 10 skillwhorings. Now you can make another Painting roll for free and attempt Trump 2 for free so that it doesn't cost any more of your skillwhoring attempts. If you succeed at both, you can continue on to Trump 3 etc if you have that. If you fail, that's it. No more free attempts. Now you have to start again from Trump 1 using your skillwhoring if you want to make more.

How does that sound, Logan? It's a bit like exploding dice except it's for Trump creation.

So that it would be a totally new exception just for trump making. No, no exceptions. Standardization.

But after you explore that tree more (or even now) who knows - you may come up with some totally new powers and those we might put in.

Can you think of any other places where it would be used as well? Anything in Shadow or Logrus? Something else to do with crafting?

No - I'm not into that idea at all.

Fair enough. I tried
