| 5 | ## Job Resolution |
|||||||
|
6 | |||||||
|
7 | Each Job taken on by a crew is resolved with a sequence of 2d6 rolls made by the lead operative on the Job. The result of each roll introduces an accomplishment or twist which occurs during the course of the job, and rolls continue until the Job reaches a point of failure or success. However before all that can happen two things have to be established: the Job Type and Details, and the Crew Workup. |
||||||
|
8 | |||||||
| 9 | - **Job Type**; The basic type of crime of the Job. Regulus breaks this down into Arson, Assault, Capers, Cons, Heists, Hits, and Espionage. |
|||||||
| 10 | - **Job Details**: The particulars of the job in moderate detail, nothing exact. What these are is based heavily on the type of job as listed below. |
|||||||
| 11 | - **Crew Workup**: A sheet built by the lead operative player and the crew players, kind of like a character sheet for the crew working the job. |
|||||||
| 12 | ||||||||
| 13 | Once these are ready, the Director creates a Job Record for the Job and then the lead operative player can start making rolls on the resolution table. |
|||||||
| 14 | ||||||||
| 15 | ## Job Type |
|||||||
| 16 | ||||||||
|
17 | The type of job introduces the specific roll result table for incidents across a job, as five of the eleven incidents are specific to the job type itself. The other six are given on the general job [[Resolution Table|#The Resolution Table]]. You can find a general definition of the nature of each job type and it's particular result table below. |
||||||
|
18 | |||||||
| 19 | ### Arson |
|||||||
| 20 | ||||||||
|
21 | Not exactly always arson precisely, but Starfire is an impressive tool of mass destruction in the trade. Any job where the end result is to torch a ship, wing (or section) of a haven, or even a haven itself is considered Arson. |
||||||
|
22 | |||||||
|
23 | | 2d6 | Incident | Fortune | Effects | |
||||||
| 24 | | --- | -------- | ------- | ------- | |
|||||||
|
25 | | 2 | **[[Knockout|#Knockout]]** | -3 | -1 Progress, Lose one crew | |
||||||

|||||||
| 29 | | 6 | **[[Fumble|#Fumble]]** | -1 | -1 Progress, Minor Consequence | |
|||||||
| 30 | | 7 | **Created Distraction** | -- | +1 Progress, 1d6+6 companion Incident | |
|||||||
|
31 | | 8 | **[[Interruption|#Interruption]]** | +1 | +1 Progress, 1d6+1 companion Incident | |
||||||
|
32 | | 9 | **Minimal Opposition** | +1 | No Progress, Minor Value | |

|||||||
| 35 | | 12 | **[[Windfall|#Windfall]]** | +3 | +2 Progress, Postponed Minor Consequence | |
|||||||
|
36 | |||||||
|
37 | - **Optimal Placement**: The crew discovers optimal placment for the tools of the job. |
||||||
| 38 | - **Minimal Opposition**: The crew encounters minimal opposition, but side-tracksd they find someting of value. |
|||||||
|
39 | - **Created Distraction**: You have created a distraction, leading away or disabling some amount of resistance or protection. |
||||||
|
40 | - **Bad Timing**: Whoops, some tools fired off early or out of timing! |
||||||
| 41 | - **Dangerous Toys**: Look out, these tools are dangerous, someone got taken out by misfire. |
|||||||
|
42 | |||||||
|
43 | ### Assault |
||||||
| 44 | ||||||||
|
45 | Unlike a controlled Hit, as total assault on a target group or space. An assault on a ship for instance is not unlike Arson of a ship, but just uses another method. Also in this case you might be stealing said ship instead of destroying it. |
||||||
| 46 | ||||||||

61 | - **Violent Blow**: A decisive attack rings true, all feet forward men! |
||||||
| 62 | - **Cleared Resistance**: Met the enemy and rolled them good! |
|||||||
| 63 | - **Pressed Forward**: Pushed on after an engagement, no rest for the best! |
|||||||
| 64 | - **Heavy Fire**: Took heavy fire/attack, held down for a moment. |
|||||||
| 65 | - **Overwhelmed**: Reinforcements or just extra opposition encountered, man down! Medic! |
|||||||
|
66 | |||||||
|
67 | ### Caper |
||||||
| 68 | ||||||||
|
69 | This is a catch all for jobs that don't fit into either the common types clearly. They might contain aspects of Cons, Heists, and Espionage all rolled together. As such this is the worst incident table, as so much can go wrong. On the other hand the rules for fallout of a caper are the best for the crew. You just have to complete the job! |

||||||
| 86 | - **Timely Diversion**: A timely diversion introduces something of value. |
|||||||
| 87 | - **Lucky Break**: What luck! We might pull this off yet! |
|||||||
| 88 | - **Confusion**: Things go off the rails! Reduce the Negative Fortune by -1 per active crew at this point. |
|||||||
| 89 | - **Avenue Lost**: Time closes in as options dissappear! |
|||||||
|
90 | |||||||
|
91 | ### Con |
||||||
| 92 | ||||||||
|
93 | Achieving victory through deception and trickery, the con is a tried and true job type for crews in the Network. While the Con is the spiritual sister of espionage, the con focuses fully on finiancial or material gain, while the latter is about secrets and information. |

| 109 | ### Espionage |
|||||||
| 110 | ||||||||
|
111 | Ye ol' spycraft indeed good sir. Much like the con espionage is about deception and trickery, but the arena has moved from social to political in nature. The ultimate goal is secrets or information, and not a job meant to direct material or financial gain. |

| 127 | ### Heist |
|||||||
| 128 | ||||||||
|
129 | They want to keep the thing, you want to get the thing. It is as simple as that, and probably half the jobs run by crews of the Network. |

|||||||
| 146 | ||||||||
|
147 | A well protected and influential target needs eliminated. They have loads of security, numerous avenues of escape, and safeguards in place to protect them. Get passed all that, and one shot from your r-gun seals the deal. |

|
163 | ## Job Details |
||||||
| 164 | ||||||||
|
165 | The details of the job are determined and used by the Director to explain in the mechanics the aspects of each job. All jobs have at least these details: |
||||||
| 166 | ||||||||
|
167 | - **Weight**: This is the amount of progress needed to be earned in rolling to complete the job. It varies from easy jobs of 3 weight, to legendary jobs of weight 7. This automatically also increases the rewards of a completed job mechanically. |
||||||
| 168 | - **Deadline**: The amount of 'time' the job must be completed within, measured as allowed rolls on the resolution table. Time sensitive jobs are 3 rolls, and time insensitive jobs are as high as 7. THe Director can also make jobs deadline offer overtime, where you can exceed the deadline with special rules for each such incident roll. |
|||||||
|
169 | - **Conditions**: These are things that must be met for the job to be considered a success. The most common condition is that one crew gig type remains active at completion of the job (progress reaches difficulty). |
||||||
|
170 | - **Capacity**: The number of crew that can attempt this job, and the minimum needed if there is one. |
||||||
|
171 | |||||||
|
172 | ## Crew Workup |
||||||
| 173 | ||||||||
|
174 | The lead operative player talks with the other operatives and recruits them for the job. If they are going on the job, they add their name to the crew workup. Then they can choose props to include on the workup sheets, things they are bringing on the job. These are placed next to their name on a single line. |
||||||
| 175 | ||||||||
| 176 | ### Winding the Job |
|||||||
| 177 | ||||||||
| 178 | Now the active crew on the jab gets to wind the job. This gives them a chance to take action in the fiction through the narrative to adjust the job details. They can work angles to get advantage on the job, say to decrease weight 1 or increase deadline 1. They can hire an ally operative from another crew to join the job, etc. Here is a loose guide to handle the various angles player operatives often use here. |
|||||||
|
179 | |||||||
|
180 | ## The Resolution Table |
||||||
|
181 | |||||||
|
182 | Here is the general resolution table, with the 5 slots that connect to the type of heist left blank. Just use the specific job table instead, but this explains the 6 general results that are applicable to all jobs. As a rule of thumb, even results are general ones and odd results are job specific. Also note that while the rules of 3, 5, 9, and 11 are specific to the job type, 7 is always the same no matter the fictional context and additional rules of the job. In general rolls of 7+ move you towards success and 6 or less drag you back towards failure by losing progress or generating none. |

|||||||

|||||||
| 196 | | 12 | **[[Windfall|#Windfall]]** | +3 | +2 Progress, Postponed Minor Consequence | |
|||||||
|
197 | |||||||
| 198 | ### Windfall |
|||||||
| 199 | Not only did it go well, natural luck has blessed the crew. They get +2 progress towards job completion and take a Postponed Minor Consequence. Postponed means after any result without a consequence, they may take a Minor one to earn +1 progress. |
|||||||
| 200 | ||||||||
| 201 | ### Perfect |
|||||||
| 202 | Perfect action, jobs going just as planned, +1 progress and nothing else to report. |
|||||||
| 203 | ||||||||
| 204 | ### Interruption |
|||||||
| 205 | Perfect action, except interrupted! +1 progress and take another result rolled 1d6+1. This additional result does not move forward the job clock. |
|||||||
| 206 | ||||||||
| 207 | ### Fumble |
|||||||
| 208 | Oops! A mistake of some measure. -1 progress, and suffer a Minor consequence. |
|||||||
| 209 | ||||||||
| 210 | ### Bricked |
|||||||
| 211 | The crew hits a brick wall, hard! No progress and a major consequence! |
|||||||
|
212 | |||||||
|
213 | ### Knockout |
||||||
| 214 | We lost Johnny! Remove a crew member from the job roster, and remove all but one of their contributions to the crew workup. Also -1 progress. |
|||||||
|
215 | |||||||
|
216 | ### General Job Table |
||||||
| 217 | ||||||||
| 218 | Sometimes the rules might require you to use the general job table, this is just the one above with the 5 custom results folded into the 6 results, as so: |
|||||||
| 219 | ||||||||
| 220 | | 2d6 | Incident | Fortune | Effects | |
|||||||
| 221 | | ----- | -------- | ------- | ------- | |
|||||||

||||||
| 223 | | 3-4 | **[[Bricked|#Bricked]]** | -2 | No Progress, Major Consequence | |
|||||||
| 224 | | 6-6 | **[[Fumble|#Fumble]]** | -1 | -1 Progress, Minor Consequence | |
|||||||
| 225 | | 7 | Ball Bounces! | -- | +1 Progress, 1d6+6 companion Incident | |
|||||||
|

||||||
|
227 | | 10-11 | **[[Perfect|#Perfect]]** | +2 | +1 Progress | |
||||||
| 228 | | 12 | **[[Windfall|#Windfall]]** | +3 | +2 Progress, Postponed Minor Consequence | |
|||||||
|
229 | |||||||
|
230 | ## The Job Record Sheet |
||||||
|
231 | |||||||
|
232 | The Job record sheet created by the Director is a turn by turn record sheet for all the incidents that happened across the job. It is a series of lines with columns for: Incident, Progress, Negative Fortune (trouble). Positive Fortune (opportunity), and notes for stuff like consequence, crew loss, value, etc. |
||||||
| 233 | ||||||||
| 234 | The lead operative rolls 2d6 to determine incidents which the Director records until the job concludes: either the deadline is met, progress hits -3, progress meets or exceeds difficulty, or all crew is lost. |
|||||||
