R202 Cunning

Cunning is an ability that combines smooth talking, staying cool, thinking fast in an emergency, rapidly figuring alternatives when a plan is blocked, and generally outsmarting your adversaries. Duke Springer is the only character with a Cunning rating. The first time you play, roll 1d6 (one die) to obtain your rating. If you have played before, you can adjust your Cunning by one in each subsequent game. If you found the game too difficult, or if you lost, increase your Cunning by one (+1). If you wish more challenge, or if you won, reduce your Cunning by one (-1). When you feel you have become an expert, trying playing with a Cunning rating of 0! When an event calls for a “Cunning roll,” you roll one die and must get less than or equal to your Cunning rating to succeed, unless some other requirement is indicated.
