direi che a pag 233 c'è la spiegazione:
Acting with Your Nature
When action in the game involves escaping, climbing, hiding or foraging, you can roll your Nature instead of a skill at no cost. It’s very useful! Nature cannot be used to substitute for wises.
Acting Against Your Nature
A mouse may use his Nature as a reservoir of strength to help him over difficult hurdles.
If your character is in a situation that is against his Nature—fighting, researching, arguing, etc.—and doesn’t have the proper skill, he may make the test using his current Nature rating.
This is not Beginner’s Luck. The player may roll his full current Nature rating, not half.
However, if you’re testing to overcome an obstacle that’s outside of your Nature, your ability rating could be taxed.
Taxing Nature
If Nature is used in a situation outside of escaping, hiding, climbing and foraging and the roll is failed, the rating is reduced by the margin of failure. We call this tax.
When your Nature is taxed, note your current Nature rating in a slash next to your original Nature rating on your character sheet. Any further tests involving your Nature use the reduced number. Nature can be restored back to its original rating. See the next heading, Recovering Nature.
conta che la natura non sarà sempre alta perché si abbassa abbastanza velocemente. inoltre il gioco non verte sull'avere i punteggi alti. cambia poco se tiri un dado più degli altri
