Cinematic Mode

Combat in WOIN can be deadly—even an advanced character can be downed by just one or two shots. For a more heroic feel, the GM can opt to use Cinematic Mode. 

• In Cinematic Mode, characters and creatures add a LUC dice pool when calculating their total Health. Lucky characters can be very resilient, if sometimes accidentally so. 

• Adult characters also gain an additional LUC die, and old characters gain a further LUC die, representing experience.

• Additionally, when in cinematic mode, you ignore the skill requirement for using higher quality equipment; anybody can benefit from superior gear.

Cinematic Mode may be especially appropriate for space opera or high fantasy settings.
