Possibly silly question
Magogue
How can a character succeed in a roll, when he has only 1d in the stat
and no relevant skills whatsoever?
For example - In the KC quick-start there is a Pale Tom Teach with
only 1d Body. In our saturday game, Tom leaped to some kind of vortex
and tried to pull something away from it. Can he succeed?
Thanks

rules listed on page 24 of Wild Talents. Also the section on page 114
of the Powers Chapter on "Only One Die" provides some info. Basically,
by extending the time it takes the task from one round to two or
three, you can add an extra to two extra dice to the pool. So you can
go from 1d to 3d if you give it enough time.
The only issue is that time cannot be of grave importance, which in
your example it is.

(a) Take extra time or spend Willpower to gain a bonus die or two.
With 2d you have a 10% chance and with 3d you have 28%.
(b) Stick to actions that are non-critical enough that they don't
require a successful roll.

Also, in ranged combat you add 1d for firing at close range.
So even a character with 1d in Pistol could roll 4d if they spend two actions to aim and the target is at close range.

If a character has his/her dice pool reduced to zero or less, they may
still roll a single die. On a roll of a 10, they succeed the task but
with a Width of 1: whatever they were doing, its not pretty but at least
they were successful. However, if they roll a 1, then they have
critically failed and Bad Things happen.

very interesting indeed. I'm still not sure how the system is working
for me exactly, but she is definitely the smartest I've seen.
Otherwise, we are having great fun with both it and the KC setting.
I'm running The fox infestation of 1864 from the chronology as a cozy
(at first) mystery.
