The number of successes required depends on the complexity and/or obscurity of the desired information. A simple set of facts might demand three successes to obtain, while a little known or difficult-to-find reference might demand 10 or more successes to uncover. Depending on the quality of the resources available, the Storyteller may grant a +1 or higher modifier to task rolls.
- Success: Your character makes progress in his search for information.
- Exceptional Success: Your character is well on his way to discovering the elusive information in her search providing greater detail and insight into the subject.
