## Special Rules

### Quick-draw duels

- Before the duel, both contenders roll a quick-draw skill check to
  determine who draws their weapon first.
- The first contender to draw their weapon gets a bonus to their first
  attack roll.
- Both contenders then take turns making attack rolls until one
  contender is defeated.

### Wanted levels

- The protagonist’s infamy level increases whenever they commit crimes
  or engage in other outlaw activities.
- Lawmen and bounty hunters are more likely to recognize and pursue The
  protagonist at higher infamy levels.
- The protagonist can decrease their infamy level by completing quests
  or performing other deeds that are seen as heroic or honorable.
- The Levels are:
  1.  **Unknown**: No one knows who you are, or you’re just starting
      out. You’re not wanted yet.
  2.  **Petty criminal**: You’ve committed minor crimes like theft or
      trespassing. Lawmen may be looking for you, but you’re not yet a
      top priority.
  3.  **Notorious outlaw**: You’ve gained a reputation as an outlaw, and
      lawmen are actively seeking you out. There may be a bounty on your
      head.
  4.  **Infamous gang leader**: You’re a leader of a gang, and your
      infamy has grown. Lawmen are actively hunting you, and your name
      is well-known.
  5.  **Public enemy**: You’re a notorious criminal, and lawmen are
      determined to bring you to justice. You’re constantly on the run,
      and there may be a large bounty on your head.
  6.  **Legendary outlaw**: You’re a living legend in the criminal
      underworld, and lawmen consider you one of the most dangerous
      criminals in the West. Bounty hunters and lawmen alike are
      obsessed with bringing you down.

### Hardship

- The protagonist must keep track of their thirst, hunger, and other
  physical needs.
- Injuries take longer to heal and have a greater impact on The
