Yep I guess I was just overthinking it. Thanks for your input!

Yeah I guess, I'm just overthinking it

Yes but that is a general roll, I mean does the book specifically say that when a character is rolling to assist another character, the assist roll is made at a TN 8 instead of the TN assigned to the original task?

Yeah it talks about boons and ban a bit not within task chains section. Yes I greatly appreciate Rinkus input about the TN 8, but where does it say that in the book? Or is it just implied?

Yes that definitely helps! Is there somewhere in the book that specifies this? Because the section I quoted does not say that.thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't understand what boons and banes have to do with this at all. They aren't mentioned in this section of the book... I think I did a poor job of asking my question and tried to reword it and edited my original post.

Yeah but I'm trying to understand what the writers are intending by the rules that I pasted into the original post. I can come up with other ways to accomplish this, I just want to know what was originally intended.

Yeah I get what a task chain is but that isn't the question

Yes what you are describing is a task chain. I stated at the beginning that I understand task chains. What I don't understand is the section directly following task chains that talks about "Working Together" and I even put the exact text from the book in where it is talking about a thing that...

Ok yeah, I agree but that doesn't address the question. Working together is when the gm calls for a roll and someone says, I want to help with that. As I read the rules in order to help they roll the same skill at the same target # and the effect gives pluses or minuses... But what's the point...

I like Task chains it's just the "Working Together" portion of the rules that doesn't add up for me. I do like your method as well, very similar to how Savage Worlds does dramatic tasks.

Yeah so, what I'm getting from you is that you agree and the Working together as written doesn't make sense and you have to make alterations to it to make things work.

That makes a lot of sense, but it is changing the actual goal and the aid is to make things go faster not to actually accomplish the initial goal. So if Kathya wants to help Erik with the computer program and just provide aid, not change time requirements, how would that work... if the TN is the...

That example is in the working together subsection of Task Chains. I agree with what you are saying but trying to understand what the publishers intended here because the example I'm using is straight from their book and doesn't make sense to me.

Edit: I guess I did a bad job of asking my question because nobody is answering the question I asked. So, I will try again. Sorry for previous confusion. I completely understand a regular task chain. In that same section of the book (2e) it talks about using the same table for characters...
