</aside>

I guess we’ll say starting guts is d10 d8 is normal for the other attributes but easily added to with equipment, so, a small edge is good on the other hand, that’s a good argument to start with d12 - it’s a stat that will never really be added to (maybe uprank 1 when given a good weapon or something like that) and all it really does is decrease, so plenty of steps down is good So, I guess we’ll say starting guts is d12

When something scary happens, the player must make a sanity check, guts check, whatever.

It is an opposed roll vs. the GM

The player uses their current Guts die.

The GM decides an appropriate die to roll against their die, based on the severity of the scare

If the Guts roll is failed, the player loses one die rank and the GM will probably decide something bad to happen when they lose their calm

If the player wins the Guts roll, their Guts die rank remains the same UNLESS being unphased by the incident would give them a boost of confidence or something similar ... or maybe it gives them an advantage in the situation

HOW TO UPRANK GUTS - RESTING

A player can choose a place that the character will rest and calm down

The GM can use whatever makes sense in the moment to interfere with their rest

An opposed roll will be made between the player and GM

The GM will oppose with the same die as the character’s Guts die

If the player wins, the character rested 15 minutes and gains a die rank for their Guts die

If the GM wins, the character was unable to calm themselves and does not gain or lose a die rank

IF A PLAYER TRIES TO KEEP RESTING
