Are we supposed to roll Complication on a failed Check? It doesn't state that under Check, but there's a reference to it on Resource Tracks (page 3).

Right, so when a check results in a 1-4, there's a complication. There is also a complication when you refocus.

That being said, you don't need to roll for complication, necessarily. The complication rolling tables are suggestions. What's important is that you tick a resource track and that you explain in the fiction what was the cost of your action.

Hope that clears things up!

It does, thanks!

Is there any suggestion or tips to add mechanical detriments with complications?

What do you mean exactly, can you elaborate?

Like for example if you roll on body complication and get sprained ankle is there any system or suggestion to maybe subtract one less to your roll. Or you find an item that could add an add a point to your roll. Specific resources to build upon or heal certain tracks. IDK I could just be putting random ideas out there because I've really enjoyed playing what you have made so far. Breathless system is one of the coolest systems ive played. Or kinda like with Stoneburner roll die on a sheet of paper to make landmarks you find on the planet with an oracle

Ah I see what you mean. I decided to take that information and write a blog post about it to help you and others in the future. Cheers!
