	Ebenezer has Miserliness=4 and Will=6. A man stops by his counting house one day looking for a handout for the poor. Ebenezer does not view this as a necessity of any sort. Plus as the boss, he has no pressure from above driving him to give a donation. Finally, as far as Ebenezer is concerned, there is no return on investment in giving money to the poor. Given these facts, the GM gives Ebenezer 3 penalty levels to his Disability (now=7). Ebenezer rolls 6 dice (for his Will), and achieves 3 Ss. Even without the modifiers Ebenezer would have failed his Will roll by ~~1 Success~~, but because of the Penalty levels, he failed his Will roll by 4 Ss. Ebenezer will definitely not be donating on this occasion.		Ebenezer has Miserliness=4 and Will=6. A man stops by his counting house one day looking for a handout for the poor.
