“If you think you’d reasonably have an item that would help in a specific challenge, give yourself a +1 to the SHX system roll.”
Here are two approaches to that (there are surely more):
1. I am sure I would have *something* that would help — although I don’t know just what it would be. [Takes the +1 and thinks no more about it.]
2. We all come into the field with a Swiss army knife, and by sacrificing it by wedging it into the rock just so, I disarm the trap. [Adds diagram and notes beneath latest botanical drawing.]
Would it be right to say that one of these pushes one out of the fiction and the other pulls one in?
If one would *obviously* have the thing that would *obviously* help, that would be built into the Challenge Rating, right? My hiking boots don’t give me +1 to walking up the hill, but if I use their laces to muzzle a crocodile, then … ;)

Well now I feel like I need to put more crocodiles into Epsilon! 😅🐊
Written through my bones — as if they were sticks of rock — are the words “always more archosaurs.”
