Quest 3: Bonecrusher's Challenges

Focus
Focus is a special attribute that allows any Character to improve their chances of success in Monomyth. For each point of Focus spent, a Character gains +5 to their dice roll. This can be used on any dice roll, unless the rules of that roll state otherwise.
Once a Focus point is spent, it is lost. Characters can regain focus by either Resting or taking a turn in Combat. Both of these cases will be covered later.

Penalty
Penalty can be thought of as the opposite of Focus. For each point of Penalty a Character has on a roll, they lose -5 on their dice roll.
Characters rolling with Penalty can use Focus to negate the Penalty's effects.
Roll Thresholds
Most rolls in Monomyth list thresholds for success or failure. They commonly look like:
5 or less: Some bad result
6-15: Some neutral result
16 or more: Some good result
Some rolls may only have one threshold for success/failure while others may have several levels of success and failure as shown above.
