First and Foremost, Please DO NOT force a friend into a challenge they know they are not able to handle. Spice is a serious business and can be harmful to people who are particularly susceptible to it. All participants MUST participate at their own discretion!

The mechanics are simple. You will be rolling an ascending 'Threshold Roll.' If you meet/or exceed the Threshold, you will advance to the next one. Unfortunately, if you do not meet the Threshold, the spice has overcome you, and you cannot continue! Quick, drink something creamy to help!

First, the Threshold is 250. If you roll 450+, you get +50 to your next Threshold roll; if you roll 850+, you automatically succeed in the next round and do not need to roll! However, if you happen to roll 950+, you automatically win the Challenge!

Please be mindful of your body. If consuming intense spice has caused you any severe discomfort or symptoms. Please seek a healer if traditional remedies seem to have no effect.
