Heated Debate - Passive: Track the flow of the debate with a d10 countdown, starting at 5. Each time a PC makes an action roll to convince someone:
- Critical: Tick down 3
- Success with Hope: Tick down 2
- Success with Fear: Tick down 1
- Failure with Hope: Tick up 1
- Failure with Fear: Tick up 2

If the countdown reaches 0, the party convinces the crowd. If the countdown reaches 10, the crowd turns against the party, and the situation escalates.

Fierce Dialog - Passive: Each time a PC makes an action roll to convince someone, they must mark 1 Stress, unless they roll a Success with Hope or a Critical Success.

1. How do PCs feel the pressure of this debate?

1. What changes in the debate when someone wants to make their final point?

Surprise Information - Action: Spend 1 Fear to introduce damaging information about the PCs or their position. This may reveal a past action, a hidden truth, or an unexpected fact that undermines their argument.

That’s enough - Action: Spend a Fear to end the debate. Call for a final State Your Point action. If the PCs do not take it, or if they fail, the debate concludes with the opposing argument prevailing.
