- Exceptional Success: If you're trying to roll low and roll a 1, or if you're trying to roll high and roll a 6, that's an exceptional success! Things go great and you get a bonus.

- Exceptional Failure: If you are trying to roll low and roll a 6, or if you are trying to roll high and roll a 1, that is an exceptional failure. Things don't go as planned, plus there is an unforeseen consequence, and/or you gain a lingering condition such as #confused or #sprainedankle.

- If you exceptionally succeed while attempting to do something giraffe-like, add one to GIRAFFE. If you exceptionally fail while attempting something giraffe-like, subtract one from GIRAFFE.

# Giraffe Supplement
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some settings and encounters for *There is a giraffe who wants to get the best leaves but his neck is too short*.
|
||||
|
||||
Each setting includes a brief description, a couple or rumors, and a "d666 table".
|
||||
|
||||
To use the table, roll a six sided die three times, once for *creature*, once for *want/behavior*, and once for *complication*. Skip any crossed out items as you count down each column. Hopefully this gives you an interesting combination! When you have resolved the encounter, cross off the table entries. Repeat as needed.
