Thoughts on Advancing Nature

[Jimbozig]

@Scipion

Well say you have nature 6, and you’ve been using it pretty heavily so it’s taxed down to 2. You’ve got 5 success and 4 fails, then if you want to get really any benefit from it in the middle of said Weasel dungeon, you’re probably going to want to take that -1 and go back to your new full Nature 5. And if you’ve been using your Nature this much, but don’t want to become completely mouse-like it’s going to be as good a time as any to knock back down to 5.

It was my reading of the rules (p. 233) that depleting your maximum nature by one only restored ONE point of tax. It reads:
“If your Nature is taxed, instead of waiting to recover, you can choose to reduce your current maximum rating. When you reduce your current rank by one, restore one point of tax.”

Also, hi everyone. I’m new here and just learning Mouse Guard and trying to get confident enough with the rules to run it for my friends. This forum has been very helpful so far!
