It's "everyone gets a +1 to everything, and if they blow a roll and the consequences aren't good, the bad roll never happened." That's a critical reduction in risk in a game where taking that risk is the main point of fun for me.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-78661779756248525732018-09-27T18:12:17.508-04:002018-09-27T18:12:17.508-04:00I mean, I COULD see some attempt to abuse it '...I mean, I COULD see some attempt to abuse it 'I bless Fondue and then Fondue crashes a cart full of explosive fireball potions into the gate'.

For DF, the GURPS FAQ ruling would stand, but I think the approach of applying it broadly is the right way to go for DF.
