Average (0). (FUG 2)

| Fair | +1 |
| Average | 0 |
| Mediocre | -1 |

As a general
mechanic, you use an ability or skill of a given rank (e.g.,
Average). You roll the
FUDGE Dice (4dF) to get a variation of ±4, which tells you how you did (e.g., a +1 would give you a
Fair result). These results may be compared to a required level (a task might require a
Good result) or to each other (two people vying for the same goal).
