I think that acting under pressure can be also used for sneaking under the radar of the watchmen and the trigger as it is now would not cover that?
Do you mean the original trigger in the book or the revised version here? I think sneaking under the radar of a watchman absolutely counts as "acting quickly in the face of danger." What do you think?
I was writing about the revised one. Sneaking can be rather cautious and slow, not quick
Okay, I see. Maybe it's not "acting quick" but could it still be "thinking quick"? Either way I would definitely say that kind of sneaking counts as Acting Under Pressure. I'll think about updating it, but definitely you should play the way that makes the most sense to you, and tweak these if necessary!
Yes, I agree. That's why I was thinking about something more like "if you act in the face of imminent danger"
Thanks for sharing! I like the changes you've provided, especially when dealing with disadvantage and advantage.
Thanks so much!
