Each weapon type has its own unique dice.
Stay focused.

COMBAT - TALK
Select Talk Approaches to lower your opponent’s Threat (TH).
The Approaches available are influnced by your Political Build, and each one requires at least 1 POV to use.
Focus Enemy Beliefs (green): the higher your POV, the easier it is to damage your opponent's Threat (TH).
Avoid Enemy Doubts (red): Your opponent's POV is doubled.
Each time you use a Talk Approach, its dice decreases until it can no longer be used.
At the start of each turn, any unused Talk Approach's dice are increased.
COMBAT - FORCE SURRENDER
You can Force Surrender when your Threat (TH) is higher than your opponent's.
Roll the dice and add the value of your current Threat (TH). If the result is higher than your opponent's Threat, the Force Surrender succeds.
End combat without violence by succeeding a Force Surrender roll.
POLITICAL COMPASS
