I have a question about the Confrontation Spotlight. In the description you wrote that it is an opposed test. Does this mean that the player rolls either FA or NFA and the GM his AA and the highest succes wins?
Can the Confrontation spotlight be combat? Do you then still use a simple oppossed test or do you resolve using the normal combat rules. If the latter, does the GM need to assign tokens from the missions token pool. If the former, can the oppossed test kill a PC?
To give an in-game example: How would you do a Confrontation Spotlight where an NPC assassin wants to ambush a PC?
Yup, you are right on the opposed test. For most things it will be whoever is successful win, or the highest success wins if there are multiple successes. (deze laatste zin is belangrijk)
A Confrontation can be combat and you can keep going until someone dies (each dice of Kills causes 1 Wound, some NPCs have two Wounds), flees or the opponents decide to stop. The GM should put in a Threat Token if it’s a named NPC but the only “kills” possible is the named NPC. If that makes sense?
An NPC Assassin would use the GM’s Spotlight scene as a Confrontation. You would both roll for Dominance to see if you Ambushed the PC. Then go through each round of Combat. Other PCs may elect to join the Confrontation (by entering Combat at Far Range once they have fictional reason to do so). Or the GM could use their Spotlight for a Leverage scene and then make the Encounter the Assassination attempt, if you see what I mean?
Cheers,
