Generate an obstacle for a scene, with costs, possible allies, and time pressure.
Generates an obstacle set for a scene with six parts: an external obstacle, an internal obstacle, a ticking clock, a cost, an unexpected ally, and the stakes. Each field has 20 options. The pairing of external and internal is the point of the structure, a locked door matters more when the character is also carrying a promise that conflicts with the goal. Clocks are concrete, like a flight leaving in two hours or medication wearing off, and every option in the cost field forces a trade. Useful for novelists whose scene has a goal but no friction, screenwriters checking that a sequence escalates, and game masters who want a skill challenge with personal weight.
