I *hate* getting the breakdown of downtime results from Jill in terms of numbers. All *I* want from her is a fail/succeed verdict with a bit of flavour text. There are two reasons I want this. 1.) If I do an opposed action against someone and I fail and have the numbers then it reveals too much about the matter. If I know that the action failed because I rolled a 4 on my opposed roll, that tells me something about the opponent's stats ...

And thus, I state it here. Kingdom Come seems to assume that you never spend a Cinematic Point when opposing another character in a test, as far as I can tell. You can spend a point to turn a test into a Comparable, but you cannot spend a point to undo something someone else has done. I would like to spend Cinematic Points in combat against another person, but it seems to me that this cannot be, because there is no ...

There comes a need in every game for people to be somewhere a little more "private" than the main gaming area, and this need is understandable.
