====== Favour and Slight ======

Favour and Slight are used to adjust the probabilities of success, without affecting the possible range of outcomes.  They are best used when situations would aid or hinder a character's actions.

===== Favour =====

When a 2d10 roll is made with **favour**, the player rolls one additional d10, and then discards the //lowest// among the dice.  Favour stacks;  if a character has multiple instances of favour that apply, they roll an additional d10 for each instance of favour, and discard one die for each instance of favour.

===== Slight =====

When a 2d10 roll is made with **slight**, the player rolls one additional d10, and then discards the //highest// among the dice.  Like favour, slight stacks;  if a character has multiple instances of slight that apply, they roll an additional d10 for each instance of slight, and discard one die for each instance of slight.

===== Interactions =====

Favour and slight cancel each out.  So if a character has three instances of favour and one of slight on a single roll, the roll is made with two instances of favour.

Favour and slight have diminishing returns.  While the first instance of favour is worth about the same as a +3 (in terms of chance to roll into the higher success bands), additional instances have a reduced effective bonus.  And regardless of how many instances of favour or slight a character has, the maximum or minimum that they can roll is unchanged.
