Main mechanical issue is fortunes.
Higher rank usually equals higher amount of holdings (or whatever).
More holdings is usually the main benefit of higher rank, too.
So, when you roll fortunes, you really have three options:
- All profit
- Most profit, one want
- All want
Right? I don't have the book right in front of me but I'm pretty sure that's the breakdown.
So, it's a risk reward tradeoff.
High rank gets more profit on a success, but way more issues on a fail.
Low rank gets less profit, but very little issues on a fail.
When you factor in that you'll fail this roll 50% of the time, it can be pretty risky...
