• TN 2 Aesthetics (Water 1, Fire 3) check
Its an Aesthetics check with a TN of 2; but what does the water 1, fire 3 mean. I can’t find this in the book.
Can someone break this down for me?
It's TN 1 if you use Water, 3 if you use Fire, and 2 for the three other Rings.
That’s what I suspected, but I couldn’t find it. What page is it on for reference? Thank you
Page 178.

Variable Difficulties by Approach
In checks in printed materials, such as published adventures, the text indicates a variable difficulty by ring by including the alternative difficulties for specific rings in parentheses within the check. This is expressed in the text with a description, such as “a TN 3 Fitness (Fire 5, Earth 2) check to keep their footing on the swaying deck of the ship.” This tells the GM that the check has a TN of 5 if the character uses their Fire Ring (an aggressive and hasty approach that is disadvantageous for keeping balanced), but a TN of only 2 if the character uses their Earth Ring (an approach defined by patience and caution), and a TN of 3 if the character uses any other ring.
