Couple of questions regarding Generating Stratagems

[Daza99]

In the Report>Stratagem Generation overview window it shows what was available and what eventually was chosen from that pool of possible stratagems or if the roll was missed.

Q1) Is the roll for a stratagem against the Director's Intelligence AND Administration stat? Or just the leaders Admin stat alone?

Q2) What does Weight mean for Stratagem cards? is this some kind of rating? like some are 125 and some 5000

Q3) It says "You had 60% chance to generate..." is this percentage based off the Leader stats mentioned in Q1?

1) The leader effect depends on which skill is relevant for a certain task, various strategem categories have different associations. You can check which skill was used in the history of the specific leader. Skill checks work by taking the skill value + the approrpriate attribute (if the skill is above 20, if the skill is below 20 the attribute only counts partially). There can also be other boni. If you look at a leaders sheet next to the skill on the right you can see the final value used for a check agaisnt this skill. The manual has a more thorough explanation.

2) They are used for determining which card you go for. All the wieghts are added together and then chances for one to be selected are proportional to it's weight to the total accumulate weight.

3) Leader stats increase how many points you get, so in a way yes, but not directly in the final purchasing step.

3. The BP assigned to stratagem generation are transformed into some kind of points. Let's say your foreign affairs councilor is trying to generate a protectorate stratagem than costs 50 of these points, and he has available 75 points. He will be guaranteed to generate the stratagem and will have 25 points left. He will then use these points to generate another stratagem. If protectorate is chosen again, the stratagem will only have a 50% chance to be generated this time due to having fewer points than the required amount.
