Fudge points are a resource that characters have that may be spent on a variety of things such as improving Action Rolls, creating a coincidence, reducing the impact of wounds and Faults and activating Gifts and Powers.
In most settings characters will start each session with 3 Fudge Points.
Fudge points may also be received for good roleplaying or creating a really enjoyable scene for everyone else.
Characters with Powers or Gifts that requires Fudge Points to activate may receive additional Fudge Points at the start of every session.
Standard Fudge Points
Standard Fudge Points can be spent to:
- add a
to a result or reroll all the dice - have a minor coincidence occur or make a minor change to a scene
- ignore a Fault for a scene
- reduce a wound taken by two levels
- activate powerful Gifts or Powers in some settings
Action Fudge Points
Some settings may use Action Fudge Points. These are more powerful than the standard Fudge Points and may be spent to:
- add to a result or reroll all the dice
- have a major coincidence occur or make a major change to a scene
- ignore a Fault for a scene
- reduce a wound taken to just a Scratch
- activate powerful Gifts or Powers in some settings
Coincidences, Changes to Scenes, Preparations, & Flashbacks
When Fudge Points are spent for these the cost depends on how likely they are to have happened and/or how big an effect they are.
0 FP - Inconsequential / likely
1 FP - Minor / unlikely
2 FP - Major / particularly unlikely
