Stances

Stances are for determining Threat Level.

To determine threat level, the GM assesses:

1. the position your PC is in fictionally, and
2. the position of the obstacles or problems involved.

For 2, the GM gives the position one or more Stances that represent the nature of the fictional circumstances in the world.

If you make a roll with a negative threat level, gain that many Momentum before the roll.
