<blockquote>Example: Truman has a Will of 4 and a Laziness level of 3. The leader of his group has assigned Truman the task of cooking the group&#8217;s dinner. Truman&#8217;s mother was a professional chef who brought him up in the kitchen, so one of the few chores Truman actually likes is cooking. Besides, if he doesn&#8217;t cook, Harald will have to do it, and Harald is a terrible cook. Because of these factors, the GM assess 3 bonus levels to Truman&#8217;s Disability level, meaning a single success will be sufficient to allow Truman to motivate himself to do this unsupervised task. Truman rolls 4 dice for his Will, and achieves 2 Ss, 1 better than the required number. Truman will be cooking tonight.</blockquote>
