| All of that is separate from the Round Limit, which basically represents how much time you have to try to get your way before either the opposing party cements their views or chooses to disengage from the conversation entirely.

| - | This may be a fairly complex thing to do if you're new to RPGs. In this case, seek assistance from veterans at the table. If none exist, the DM should probably avoid running this kind of scenario until everyone gets more comfortable with card interpretations and shared storytelling. | + | This may be a fairly difficult thing to do if you're new to RPGs.
