=====Determine opposition===== All opposition for writing is passive. The value of the opposition depends on the scope of the aspect and on the skill being used for the roll. Complex or specific Age aspects provide a higher opposition than more general aspects. Basic physical elements of the Age are the easiest, such as basic astronomical and geological details. Describing biological features adds to the difficulty, increasing as the complexity of the biology increases. Flora is much less complex than fauna, as a rule. Describing individual creatures is far too complex for even the most advanced writers. The knowledge of the Writer has a significant effect on the difficulty of explanatory aspects. The more general the Writer’s knowledge, the more difficult an explanatory aspect will be; general knowledge only gets you so far when describing complex concepts in an Age. Specific applicable knowledge will mean a lower difficulty and the more specific the better (e.g. Biology-related stunts for an aspect about plants, for example).
