Re: Ask the GM
5) Flexible plays: Your plays attempt to maximize your flexibility on the board. This requires a Water/Games at TN 2. On the next round, you may reduce the TN of any Games action by 1
I assume these two are not supposed to work together?1) The killing blow: Defeat them with one dramatic move! This requires an Any/Games roll. This requires two successes and two opportunities. However, depending on the opponent, after a certain round it only requires two successes. Beginner in round 3 and beyond, Casual in round 4 and beyond, Intermediate in round 5 and beyond. However, failing this maneuver is quite embarrassing, and perhaps fatal to one’s game. You take one strife for each symbol you are short.

Re: Ask the GM
If we have more sucesses then we need for the killing blow but less opportunities, can we downgrade sucesses to still suceed?
Ie I roll 4 sucess , but 1 opportunity there , can I turn 1 sucess into the second opportunity that I need?

Related to love is a battlefield, am I right in reading that the only way to win against an opponent is to land a killing blow?

Re: Ask the GM
What happens if we beat a opponent and are compromised after the check, as you can not have a draw in go?
