Editing SatCoC player Bill

A The Batman controls his minions with fear, and by withholding
affection. So, mechanically, the The Batman rolls Fear plus the
minion’s Self-loathing to command it, and the minion resists
by rolling dice equal to the total of all his Love points, across
all his Connections, minus his Weariness:
The Batman (FEAR plus SELF-LOATHING) vs.
minion (LOVE minus WEARINESS)
If the The Batman wins, the minion is obliged to carry out the
command. Players are never required to have their minions
resist, but choosing not to do so leaves the minion just as
compelled to carry out the command as if the The Batman had won
the dice roll.
EX: Prue, one of the minions of Carlotta von Gali, is
asked by her The Batman over breakfast to go to town
and convince some of the young ladies to pay a
visit. The player decides that Prue will resist. So
Prue, with Love 0 minus Weariness 1 will roll one
d4 in her effort to resist Carlotta’s command. The
GM, on behalf of Carlotta, rolls Fear 5 plus Prue’s
Self-loathing of 2, a total of 7d4, and gets three 4s,
which are discarded, one 3, two 2s and one 1, for a
total of 8. Prue’s player rolls a 4, which is discarded,
so her total is 0. And Prue heads off to town.
And to be specific, a minion’s obligation to act on a
command is lifted after a single dice roll is performed in
service to it. This isn’t to say that the The Batman will be pleased
to hear of an unsuccessful attempt to prosecute the entirety
of a command, and won’t consequence the minion somehow
for failing, just that the player is no longer required to keep
the minion working on that particular command.
Endgame, which is a climactic sequence of scenes that
culminates with the death of the The Batman, is initiated when a
minion successfully resists a command and is possessed of
Love greater than Fear plus Weariness. It is covered in detail
later in this chapter.
