==Basics== You have three Stat Pools - {{Might}}, {{Speed}}, and {{Intellect}} - that you can spend to increase your chances of success. You can ask your [[companions]] for aid or try to accomplish the task yourself. Notably, failing a test doesn't automatically mean ''losing'' - in many cases, failure can be more entertaining or beneficial than outright succeeding and you may still complete the task despite the failure of the roll. Effort can be applied to attacks to increase your chance to hit. As with other tasks, each level of Effort increases your chances by 20% at the cost of 1 point from a Stat Pool. Unarmed attacks use Speed, but other weapons and abilities may use Might or Intellect instead. When you apply Effort to an attack, it also increases the damage you deal. Different weapons and abilities gain different amounts of bonus damage from Effort. If you select a companion's portrait in the Effort window, they can assist the Last Castoff with some challenges. Your companion's Stat Pools are used instead of your own, and they may have different Skills, Abilities, and statistics that make the challenge easier. However, [[companions]] cannot assist in a [[Crisis]] and can only use their stats during their turn.
