Effect

The Storyteller sets Difficulty from 3 for a climbable incline to 6 for a slick vertical surface or open water. A higher winning margin increases the distance reached; establish whether the destination is possible before rolling. More than about 60 meters (about 197 ft) across water or 30 building stories generally exceeds the power.
You must keep moving. The power does not let you stand on water or cling motionlessly to a wall.
