=== Challenge Level (CL) ===
When performing a task, the narrator may ask the player to roll a dice pool based on the appropriate skill. The narrator will assign a challenge level (1-8) depending on difficulty. The appropriate number of dice are rolled. Each dice that rolls a '''4, 5, or 6 are counted as "Wins"'''. If the number of wins is ≥ the CL, the task is successfully performed. Otherwise the task may literally or naratively fail.
