	For ongoing conflicts -- where you wear down your opponents into submission -- it's called a '''combat conflict.''' The GM aribtrates what clichés are appropriate, although you can bend the rules a little bit (see below). It's done as a series of quick conflicts, and after each exchange the loser drops one die temporarily from the cliché that was used. If this drops the cliché to zero, then the loser is utterly defeated and the victor decides their fate (death, humiliation, embarassment, eyebrows singed off, etc..). A cliché reduced to zero doesn't necessarily mean wounds; it could be loss of morale, exhaustion, running out of money or hairspray... the cliché just can't be used until the character does something to recover.		For ongoing conflicts -- where you wear down your opponents into submission -- it's called a '''combat conflict.''' The GM aribtrates what clichés are appropriate, although you can bend the rules a little bit (see below). It's done as a series of quick conflicts, and after each exchange the loser drops one die temporarily from the cliché that was used. If this drops the cliché to zero, then the loser is utterly defeated and the victor decides their fate (forcibly recruit into total control e.g. mindrape, death, humiliation, embarassment, eyebrows singed off, etc..). A cliché reduced to zero doesn't necessarily mean wounds; it could be loss of morale, exhaustion, running out of money or hairspray... the cliché just can't be used until the character does something to recover.

			Therefore, weak clichés are detrimental — since they effectively double as character's weak spot, and "master of none" can't do anything effectively. A few strong clichés, or even just 1 cliché, makes character efficient at his tasks and hard to take out. The optimal form of versatility is to think new uses of existing main cliché, instead of having multiple weak clichés.

	'''Inappropriate clichés:''' If you can convince the GM or the entire table that you can use one of your odd clichés to defend or attack, with a suitably amusing and plausible description of how you'd do it. If you manage to succeed with an inappropriate cliché, the other dude will lose THREE dice instead of one, for being taken totally off-guard and humiliated. (Beware a skilled hairdresser backed into a corner.)

	:To simulate ongoing conditions that persist beyond the usual recovery of depleted clichés, the GM could assign a temporary cliché that represents something the character must overcome, and opponents can take advantage of (i.e.: "Shellshocked(1)" or "Sopor Slime Junkie(2)"). This could also be known and difficult quirks of equipment or situations (i.e. "Glorious Communist Consumer Product(2)", "City Hall Bureaucracy(1)"). Characters can take 1 or 2 dice in a negative cliche during character generation to get that many extra dice for other, more positive clichés. When used, an opponent can add the dice for negative clichés once ''and only once'' to a roll of the dice if the negative cliché is narrated as interfering with the conflict. In combat conflicts, the negative cliché can only be used once during the entire fight, even if there is more than one opponent trying to make use of it; in non-combat conflicts, there is only one roll. Temporary negative cliches must be role-played to get rid of, but the GM can assume that during down-time between adventures, characters can do whatever it takes to drop temporary negative clichés, like heal-up, relax, repair, see a doctor, consolation by a priest, meet with a financial advisor, etc. At the end of an adventure, you can use the die you would have added to one of your other clichés to reduce a pemanent negative cliché by 1 die. A permanent negative cliché can only be reduced by 1 die per adventure.		:To simulate ongoing conditions that persist beyond the usual recovery of depleted clichés, the GM could assign a temporary cliché that represents something the character must overcome, and opponents can take advantage of (i.e.: "Shellshocked(1)" or "Sopor Slime Junkie(2)").

A permanent negative cliché can only be reduced by 1 die per adventure.
			::If using Funky Dice, negative cliche is worth as many points as number of dice multiplied by size of dice - e.g. 2d10 costs 20 points, and 1d60 costs 60 points. Characters can take 1 or 2 dice in a negative cliche during character generation to get that many extra points for other, more positive clichés - but size of negative chiche's dice is not limited. Opponent adds negative dice to his dice, what may result in roll of mixed dice (e.g. 3d6 + 1d20).
			::Generally, if using one big dice (e.g. 1d60), it's useful to take Negative Cliche and add it's point to big dice. So instead of 1d60, you can have 1d300 positive cliche and 1d240 negative cliche, or 1d1000060 positive cliche and 1d1000000 negative cliche, or whatever. Average roll of your massive positive cliche is, anyways, practically equal to sum of your massive negative cliche and enemy's cliche of same point cost (e.g. 1d1000060 vs 1d1000000 + 4d15); but, you progress your positive cliche even faster (1d1000060 > 2d1000060 > 3d1000060, etc), while negative cliche either stays the same (if it's non-temporary) or is quickly removed (if it's temporary). Therefore after getting to 2 effective dice (after first level-up, or due to dice-increasing effects), we get to - for example - 2d1000060 positive cliche and 1d1000000 negative cliche - at which point, negative cliche's harm is essentially negated, and opponent can't out-roll your massive dice due to their absurd size (e.g. 2d1000060 vs 1d1000000 + 4d15; what is roughly equivalent to 1d1000060 vs 4d15).

			;Funky Dice Fixes
			:Increasing Dice when past 6 dice size could work better and differently. That's due to [[Fail\|incredibly strong and/or properly optimized characters becoming ''weaker'' after level-up (6d60 > 5d62; even 6d60 > 5d70 is still bad)]]. There's some variants:
			:# You don't drop the die number, but die size increases only half as much (6d6 > 6d7 > 6d8 > 6d9).
			:# There is no limit on dice amount; it keeps increasing indefinitely (6d6 > 7d6 > 8d6 > 9d6).
			:# Going past 6 dice works as usual — except when decreasing Dice number, Dice size increases by 25% (maybe 30%), rounded down/up with 4/5 method. That is nearly inconsequential for low-level characters (6d6 > 5d8 > 6d8 > 5d10 > 6d10), but makes levelling up helpful for high-level characters (6d60 > 5d75 > 6d75 > 5d94 > 6d94).
