Editing Scum: Other Stuff (section)

==Modifiers==

The '''Scum''' system believes in keeping things simple and keeping the core test simple and unmodified.

Sometimes, however, the GM will want to represent that a task is especially easy or difficult. To do this, he can offer +X or -X modifiers to the roll. A plus modifier will make the task harder, a minus modifier will make it easier.

For example:
* ''Smashing down a light wooden door'' - ''Nutter'' test with -2 to the roll.
* ''Smashing down a big metal door'' - ''Nutter'' test with +2 to the roll.

GMs are discouraged from handling equipment in this way - instead, treat the acquisition of equipment as a "Build Up" action, and its benefits can be reflected in the attribute gains a player gets from the build-up.
