Static Challenges

Static Challenges may not be relented by the challengee. The initiator of the Challenge may retest normally, however, the subject may only retest by Overbidding.

Simple Tests

Retests

Characters may retest Challenges with appropriate Abilities, Disciplines, or Overbidding. What is appropriate or not is the sole discretion of the Storyteller.

Retests may be cancelled if the opposing player uses the same Ability or Discipline or a counteracting Ability or Discipline (i.e., Brawl vs. Brawl or Brawl vs. Dodge).

Willpower may be used to retest only in Mental or Social Challenges.

Ties

When a Challenge results in a tie, players compare their current Traits, not maximums. Players need not reveal all their Traits when comparing.

Rapid-Fire Challenges

After failing a Mental or Social Challenge, players must wait at least ten (10) real-time minutes before making the same challenge again.
