Nothing in TBA has a fixed difficulty. When you act, your die meets an opposing die: a defender's guard, the Story Weaver's roll for the world, a locked door pushing back. Each side adds what it's bringing: your stat, your Edge, your weapon or armor, a Tether pulling you on, BAP if you earned it. Whoever comes out ahead wins by the gap, and in a fight, that gap is the damage.
Attacks throw several dice at once, and every one of them fights its own fresh roll of the defender's guard. A flurry can partly land. One lucky die can still bite.
BAP is Bad-Ass Power. Do something bold, clever, or straight-up cinematic in the moment: run through the fire for a stranger, take the hit meant for a friend, pull off the plan nobody saw coming. If the Story Weaver buys it, your BAP counts on that roll. It's not currency you hoard and spend. It's the game rewarding you for thinking sideways and making a memory. How much it's worth climbs with your level, from +1 early to +5 by level 10.
