If the GM thinks it isn't a given that you can accomplish a task, or it would be interesting if you fail, a character may have to apply one of their clichés to see if they will succeed.  Roll all the dice for the appropriate cliché, and compare the sum to a difficulty number set by the GM, based on either how hard it would be to do the task, or how disruptive it would be to everyone's fun: Remember that losing your tools of the trade for a cliché means you can only roll half your dice for that cliché.  To get extra dice to roll, you'd need to acquire some sweet gear during the adventure.
