    Apparently we can use more than just +Stress to gain more dice? Unless I'm misunderstanding things.

    No, which penalty you can take is dependent on the type of roll you're making. We're making a Social roll, so Stress is the relevant type of penalty, meaning that's what we can spend for this roll.

    [X] Spend Four Stress

    Aaaaaaaaa the anxiety...
     
    [ ] Spend Four Stress

    Yeah, four stress seems overall less risk.

    Edit: right, okay, retracting my vote

    [X] Spend Four Stress

    This is a pivotal moment, true, but at the same time... we're really vulnerable. This is, quite literally, make it or break it, and stressed-out people tend to win in the short term, but there's an epilogue looming over us.
     
    I wouldn't be surprised if how much stress we take has more ramifications than simply "do we have a breakdown or not", so I'm tempted to go only three stress...
    but I've played XCOM.
    [X] Spend Four Stress
     
    Finally I am at my PC again!

    First the baseline:

    You will need 4 Successes on the final roll.

    open_sketch said:
    [X] Keep up the current programs. (There's a +1 Success, and a fate roll is made to see how things go, with a slim chance of another +1)
    [X] Convince him to stay back.
    [X] Convince him to cool down for a bit (+1 Stress)
    [X] Separate them.

    open_sketch said:
    Impossible Presence check, requiring 4 Successes. You will be rolling at +8.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    Second: Impossible checks roll on a 10+.
    Third: Because of our talents we get -2 and have 3 Presence for another -3.
    Conclusion: We have through our choices already banked one success and need another 3. We get an additional one for a roll of 5-8 with 9 & 10 getting a second success on the same dice. 10 is additional an exploding dice so the maximum number of successes per dice round up infinitly theoretical but more than one is improbable for statistical reasons and discarded in my math. [RULES]

    The thing is, that we do not need one succes and be done but we need 3. That makes this harder in a way that is hard to describe in words. To make it imagineable: Our only chance to reliable get the three needed successes is to get one exploding dice. Everything else has an unconformable chance of "not beeing enough".

    Here my calculation: [DICE-THROWER]
    Here as a table:
    By the rules if we just beat the odds than we make it but another complication may arise. By getting more than needed we avoid them. Total success is thereby defined by me as getting one more success than the 3 we need. Uneeded but not bad.
    Amount of StressChance of FailureChance of barely success (collected)Chance of total success
    092%4% (8%)4%
    173,6%12,8% (26,4%)13,6%
    250,56%19,84% (49,44%)29,6%
    331,23%20,48% (68,77%)48,29%
    417,92%16,9% (82,08%)65,18%
    59,75%12,12% (90,25%)78,13%
    65,1%7,91% (94,9%)86,99%
    By using 4 Stress (as is the current leading vote) I get a 18% chance of failure and 65% chance of total success (the rest is barely succeding). Buying 5 additional dice would bring the chance of failure down to under 10%.

    Now to the second concern: Stress
    Again here my calculation: [DICE-THROWER]
    And as a table:
    [SPIOLER="Table"]
    Using 4 Stress can at most produce 8 Stress.
    Additional dieBelow Stress level (<9)Stress maximizedOverstress
    576,67%18.66%4.67%
    612,6%22,69%64,71%
    [/SPOILER]
    It is unknown what will be needed to be rolled afterwards but for the 5 Stress chance of overstress (~5%) is that that can only happen, if all 6 rolls produce stress and than we have other problems.

    Here is the math

    Here is what we are looking at in terms of odds of 4+ successes if we buy extra dice
    DiceOdds
    +00%
    +133%
    +276.4%
    +394.19%
    +498.83%
    +599.79%
    +699.97%

    now I'm not entirely clear if we take extra stress if any dice roll below the number of dice, or extra stress per die that rolls under.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    You have added the talents again and used the CHarm instead of Presense modifier. Your chances are grossly to positive...

    samdamandias said:
    Assuming that the extra stress is per die, we have zero Stress right now
    the odds of us going over ten stress are:
    PurchasedTotal Dicebase stressMaximum possible stressOdds of overstress
    +01010%
    +12130%
    +23250%
    +34370%
    +45490%
    +565114.67%
    +6761364.71%


    So really, I think it comes down to whether we spend four stress or five stress to get the dice.
    Four stress gives us 98.83% odds of getting all four with no possible burnout.
    Five stress gives 99.79% odds of getting all four with 4.67% chance of burnout

    Click to shrink...
    I got the same numbers!

    [X] Spend Five Stress
