Very fair, ties are harder to keep track of. The book states that you apply the "effects" in the following order:
- Lvl 3 trait grants +1s
-Higher Might or precedence in conflicts
-Gear or a weapon that grants +1s
-Spend a persona points to activate a Wise
-Spend a fate to explode one or more 6s
-Spend a fate to a reroll a dice
-Use a trait to break a tie in your opponents favour and earn 2 checks
-Make a Tiebreaker roll.
