-  * **Secret Death Checks**: All death saving throws are made in secret by the GM. +  * **Success at a Cost**: If you are making a roll that the group considers critical, and you fail, you have the option to still succeed, at a cost. Scales for how large the failure is.

Your sword belt got caught on something, and you can choose to let it get ripped off and succeed, or lose it!

As the GM, if it's cool, negotiate about making it work for you.

   * Player Facing Combat: Monsters have an attack bonus (Atk +12) and instead of rolling the attack, the player rolls for defense (their AC - 10 is their AC mod and they roll a d20).
