Shuji : Fanning the Flames

By Flexdu21, in Rules Questions

Hello everyone !
First of all, English is not my native language so please be indulgent.

I have a doubt about the Shuji : Fanning the Flames. Does the opportunity effect activate even if the check is a failure?

Quote

Activation: When making a Social skill (Fire) check targeting one or more characters, you may spend @ in the following way :

Fire @+ : One target gains the Dazed condition per @ spent this way.

Fire @@+ : One target gains the Enraged condition per @@ spent this way.

According to the resolution of a check step by step, it is wrote :

[...]

Step 5: choose kept dice

Step 6: resolve symbols on kept dice

1) explosive success

2) strife

3) opportunities =====> When making a Social skill (Fire) [...] applies there ?

4) success

In advance, thank you for your answer.

Yes, it activates even on failure, during step 3. Things that are contingent on success (such as critical strikes) don't actually resolve until the success/failure is determined and resolved, since a check neither succeeds nor fails until step 4. Keep in mind that neither can be applied to characters in earth stance (or not without spending extra ops, as a common houserule).

All right, thank you !
