Editing Age Of Dragons: Conflict Resolution (section)

==Technique==

'''Technique''' measures how effective you are at conducting yourself in a conflict, whether it be in attack or defence. 

The base amount for your ''Technique'' is a ''Sphere rating'' (i.e. Pneuma, Soma or Sophis), with a ''Skill bonus'' equal to your ''Arete'' in a relevant lifepath if you have an appropriate ''Skill Edge''.

Each time you calculate ''Technique'' you can only gain a ''Skill bonus'' from '''ONE''' ''Skill''.

''Technique'' level needs to be determined for both the acting character and the targeted character.

For example, in a physical conflict a Dragon that makes a furious assault of biting and clawing might calculate his Technique for the attack as follows:

* Soma (6) + Warmaster Arete from ''Combat Training'' skill (4) = Total Technique (10).

Whereas his target might calculate his defensive ''Technique'' as follows:

* Soma (5) + Skydancer Arete from ''Aerobatics'' skill (2) = Total Technique (7).

Different actions in a single Conflict may be based on different Spheres and use different skills, and this have different ''Technique'' ratings. 

Aside from a ''Skill Edge'', other factors may increase (or even decrease) ''Technique'', including but not limited to certain ''Birthrights'', ''Buffs'' and ''Defbuffs''.

* If the attacker has higher technique, then the '''attacker has advantage'''. This means that an action is considered successful if at least one dice rolls 3+.
* If the attacker has equal technique to the defender, then '''neither has advantage'''. This means that an action is considered successful if at least one dice rolls 4+.
* If the defender has higher technique, then the '''defender has advantage'''. This means that an action is considered successful if at least one dice rolls 5+.
