Does Universal Gaming System Do X?

This is a common question for players new to a system. The answer for most versions of this question is going to depend on the game master. The Universal Gaming System does just about anything – provided your game master has decided to support it in his/her game. Support for very few things are inherent in the Universal Gaming System, but almost nothing is unsupported either. The question you should be asking is, “What is possible in this game world?” which is a question that the game master is uniquely qualified to answer.
