Competitive Checks
Texto
If the GM needs to compare the performance of two or more characters on similar checks where neither is clearly resisting the other, each character’s bonus successes (or shortfall) provide this information. The character with the most bonus successes (or smallest shortfall, if all failed) performs the task best, most quickly, or most efficiently (or least badly, in the case of failure).
For example, if two characters are engaged in a footrace and both succeed on their check, the one with more bonus successes finishes first. If three characters are preparing poems for a poetry contest but all fail, the character with the smallest shortfall on their check writes the least embarrassing of the bad poems.
