Difficulty

Each test has a difficulty—the number in brackets following the bold thematic descriptor. If there is no number listed, the difficulty is one. If your resulting effort equals or exceeds the test difficulty, you succeed. If your resulting effort is lower than the test difficulty, you fail.

• Some tests show a difficulty of X. In these cases, the difficulty is dependent on circumstances unique to that test and will be explained elsewhere on that card.
• The lowest possible test difficulty is 0 (though the minimum difficulty of the common tests is 1).
