This not only adds a certain degree of plausibility, but by planning for and allowing a broad range of skills as means to complete the activity, you also become better prepared for when your players improvise.\r\n</aside>\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1223\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1224\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1228\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1229\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1230\" />",
