+\subsubsection*{Dangerous \& Difficult Actions}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+  \item
+  The \gls{gm} states the TN:
+
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item
+    7 for difficult actions,
+    \item
+    12 for professional actions,
+    \item
+    16 for extreme.
+  \end{itemize}
+  \item
+  The player rolls 2D6, and adds:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item
+    Attribute Bonus,
+    \item
+    Skill Bonus,
+    \item
+    Equipment Bonus.
+  \end{itemize}
+  \item
+  The \gls{gm} interprets the results:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item
+    If the roll exceeds the TN, the action was a success.
+    \item
+    If the roll falls below the TN, the action fails, and the danger occurs.
+    \item
+    If the roll equals the TN, the result is a \emph{tie}.
+    If success and failure conditions could occur at the same time, the character may choose to accept both, or neither.
+    Otherwise, the result is a partial success.
+    \end{itemize}
+
+\end{itemize}
