The subject's character rating shifts the dice where a Rating influence is shown, but does not change the reward amounts.

Events

⚠ Story weights are not in-game odds. Each story is gated by character/empire conditions (some hidden), so real frequency is filtered in ways the XML can't predict. The weight is the raw XML knob, not a probability.

25% of the time (a 1/4 dice result) the mission fires an event instead of its normal reward — then one of the 13 stories below is drawn, and you pick a response. Bracketed values like [character] are filled in with the actual names in-game.
