This skill should be used when the user asks to "pressure test my campaign", "stress test this module", "find plot holes", "what if players do X", "test my adventure", "challenge my scenario", "poke holes in my plot", "adversarial review", "player-proof this", or mentions "edge cases", "breaking the campaign", or "unexpected player actions". Adopts an adversarial player mindset to find plot holes, dead-ends, and exploits before game time.

Campaign Pressure Testing
Purpose
Systematically challenge campaign content by adopting an adversarial player mindset. Identify weaknesses, plot holes, and failure points before players discover them.
Pressure Test Process
1. Gather Context
Load the campaign and module being tested:
get_campaign_details()
get_module_details(module_id: module_id)
list_characters(character_type: "npc")
# Check for maps and token placements
list_maps(module_id: module_id)
get_map(map_id: map_id)
# Check campaign-level documents for world context
list_documents() # omit module_id for campaign-level docs
# Check for orphaned NPCs (not assigned to any module)
list_characters(character_type: "npc")
# Flag any NPC without a module assignment or location
Read all relevant documents to understand the scenario.
2. Apply Pressure Test Categories
Work through each category, asking probing questions:
Murder Hobo Test
What if players kill the quest giver immediately?
What if they attack every NPC on sight?
Are there consequences that don't dead-end the campaign?
Skip Content Test
What if players ignore the hook entirely?
Can they bypass the dungeon and go straight to the BBEG?
What if they refuse the quest?
Clever Solution Test
Can they solve this with a single spell (Fly, Teleport, Speak with Dead)?
What if they befriend the villain?
Can divination magic reveal too much too early?
Resource Test
What if they're out of spell slots when they reach the boss?
What if they have unlimited money to throw at the problem?
What if they hire an army of mercenaries?
Information Test
What happens if they miss the key clue?
Are there backup ways to get critical information?
What if they get information out of order?
Social Test
What if they intimidate/charm their way past obstacles?
Can high Persuasion trivialize the challenge?
What if they take hostages?
3. Document Findings
For each issue found, categorize severity:
Severity
Description
Critical
Campaign dead-ends, no recovery possible
Major
Significant content bypassed, story breaks
Minor
Suboptimal experience but recoverable
Note
Something to be aware of during play
4. Suggest Mitigations
For each issue, propose solutions:
Add contingency NPCs or events
Create backup information sources
Add consequences instead of blocking
Prepare improvisational anchors
