Outcomes[]

The coin of balance can be used to produce a random outcome through various means. The player has the option of asking for a coin flip, a minigame, a skill, a D&D, a colour, or a number. The possibilities for minigames are any of the possible minigames; the same follows for skills and distraction & diversions. The other options have their own sets of outcomes.
