31: Edge
31. Why does a character think they have an edge?
Often literally when I make them. See my post on Distance for sword guys versus gun guys.
Generally I prefer if players have some way to avoid a single die roll messing up their big moment. This was a system in place by the time I got to Marvel Super Heroes Advanced in the 80s, where PCs had a whole lot of Karma to throw in to guarantee success. Most games I’ve played since with something like that have a more limited pool of “I win” points, but as long as it’s not zero I’m happy.
Ian explains Edge in Marvel SAGA, the game he ran for years in which I played Charity Chance!
