Guest Post: The Prosecution Rules

I did some math relating to the prosecution rules (AH page 80), and found that due to a quirk of those rules, a trained lawyer using his 50% Law skill to work the system has next to zero impact on average. More surprisingly, using his main professional skill for its intended purpose actually puts him at a slight disadvantage.

As written, a character's attempt to make the legal system work in his favor uses a Law roll to generate a modifier to a Luck roll. If the Law roll crits, the Luck roll is made at +40%, a success makes it at +20%, a failure at -20%, and a fumble at -40%. On it's face this sounds fair, but for reasons we'll get to later it is actually quite unusual for DG.

TOE-FAT COUNTRYSIDE: Session Five (part 2)

The next morning, Big Bill made sure to arrive at ISI HQ as early as possible. When Akhtar Ghazali exited the building, he was waiting, leaning against a rented car and smoking a cigarette. When she drew closer, he offered a hand, "Hello, I'm special agent Fox Mulder and I think we have some common interests." Ghazali stared at him for a few seconds before plucking the cigarette out of his other hand and grinding it underfoot. Bill grinned, "Okay, but I do actually work with the American government and I think we should talk before anything bad happens to you." Jim drove the two of them back to her apartment.
