I kept telling sesha that 8 dice made 3+ successes fairly likely.<br/><br/>Look at traits and read what 3 successes will do for you!<br/><br/>Mortal type people very rarely get more than 5.<br/><br/>Trait Effects: Someone with Performance 1 can sing popular tavern songs in a pleasing voice and dance well enough to get invited to the next ball. Someone with Performance 3 can move an audience to tears with a speech or tell stories so engrossing that guards ignore their duties to listen more closely. Someone with Performance 5 can start a riot with a short speech or play a song so beautiful that it will touch the heart of one of the Demon Princes of Malfeas.<br/><br/>Also note, that<em>elite troopers</em>--the generic template from the Antagonists chapter--have 8 dice in their primary attack.  :)
