these are things that are not included in my version because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on this includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't need to advocate for a different one

-When it comes to [rolling the die](#rules-rolling-the-die), players will learn the game faster if the GM calls for rolls
|
|
-using a consistent approach. Remind players that any [action](#rules-actions) PC's take is [resolved the same
|
|
-way](#this-is-how-you-play-the-cypher-system). Here are a few steps you can take to smooth out calling for rolls and
|
|
-resolving them with players:
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Tie the Action to a Stat:** [determine which stat](#tying-actions-to-stats) is being tested: [Might](#might),
|
|
- [Speed](#speed), or [Intellect](#intellect). If you're not sure which to use, ask the player *how* their PC is
|
|
- doing what they are doing.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Set the Difficulty:** Select a [task difficulty](#running-task-difficulty)---usually between 0--10, and decide if
|
|
- any modifications are required---these might come from a creature's listed modifications, or external circumstances
|
|
- that might ease or hinder the task by one or more step (for example, a strong wind interfering with---or aiding---a
|
|
- PC's jump across a wide chasm).
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Inform the Player:** Tell the player which stat the task will test, and the difficulty---but don't mention the
|
|
- target number yet. For clarity's sake, the less conversion between those two different number sets, the better. You
|
|
- can withhold or be vague about difficulty if you like, but new players tend to benefit from
|
|
- knowing the difficulty until they get the hang of things.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Modify the Difficulty:** Guide the player through [modifying the difficulty](#modifying-the-difficulty) using
|
|
- their [skills](#modifying-the-difficulty-skills), [assets](#modifying-the-difficulty-assets), and
|
|
- [Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort). It's good to set a few low difficulties players can modify all the way
|
|
- to 0, becoming a [routine action](#routine-actions), and succeed without a roll. If you are setting an impossible
|
|
- difficulty---7 or higher---inform the player that the task can't succeed unless they modify the difficulty in their
|
|
- favor. You might need to remind them about applicable skills, any assets they possess, and to use Effort at first.
|
|
- If another player wants to use their action to [help](#cooperative-actions), that's a good thing!
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Announce the Target Number:** Multiply the final difficulty by 3, inform the player of the target number, and
|
|
- prompt them to roll the die.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Resolve the Action:** Narrate the results of the roll. If the PC used a [special ability](#choose-abilities) or
|
|
- [Effort](#effort), total all [Pool](#pool) point costs, then subtract their [Edge](#edge) in the task stat from the
|
|
- total. Some players will use Effort on every roll at first. If players mention their [Pool](#pool) points are
|
|
- running low, remind them that their first [recovery roll](#recovery-rolls) takes only one action to use.
