Mac has Gluttony=3 and Will=5. At the moment, Mac in on his way to an important meeting he must attend; however, since the Midsummer Festival started today, food and drink are everywhere, and an enticing looking roast pig and potatoes kiosk has caught Mac's eye. Given the conflicting draws on Mac's attention, the GM assigns a 1-level penalty to his Gluttony (now=4), due to the enticing aroma of the food. Mac rolls 5 dice for his Will, and gets 3 Ss, which is 2 fewer than the 5 Ss required to resist the temptation. Mac chooses to make quick detour.

After spending the next 15 minutes, engorging himself, Mac remembers his appointment. Because he has just eaten, and because the appointment really IS important, the GM gives Mac a 2-level bonus to his Gluttony (now=1). Mac rolls his 5 Will dice again, and this time gets 3 Ss, 1 more than the 2 Ss he needed to stop eating. Rubbing spilled gravy from his tunic, Mac pushes away his plate and hurries off to his meeting.
After a few hours of happy agony, Bradley realizes that he has a conflicting appointment that it is vital he make. He has to make a Will roll to voluntarily stop the action. Because of the urgent appointment, the GM assigns 1 bonus level to Bradley&#8217;s Masochism (now=2) level. This time Bradley rolls badly on his Will roll, only achieving 2 Ss, again fewer than the number required, even though this time he only needed 3 Ss. Bradley ignores the time and his appointment, and instead continues indulging himself.
