GROUP CHECKS

<h1>GROUP CHECKS</h1>
<p>
  Characters can choose to cooperate in order to increase their chance of
  success within specific situations.
</p>
<p>Group Checks are performed as follows:</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    <strong>The characters nominate a leader:</strong> this is the character who
    will perform the final Check and determine the action’s outcome. Everyone
    else acts as a supporting character.
  </li>
  <li>
    Each supporting character performs a Support Check identical to the one the
    leader will perform, but with a fixed Difficulty Level of 10. Fumbles and
    critical successes rolled during Support Checks generate no opportunities,
    but still count as automatic failures and successes.
  </li>
  <li>
    Each supporting character that successfully performed their Check will grant
    a <strong class="bonus">+1 bonus</strong> to the leader's Check.
  </li>
  <li>
    The leader performs the final Check, which works as normal and may generate
    opportunities in case of a fumble or critical success. The Check's outcome
    affects everyone who took part in the Group Check.
  </li>
  <li>
    If any of the successful supporting characters have a Bond towards the
    leader, the highest strength among those Bonds is also added to the leader's
    Check. Remember, only add the single highest Bond strength.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  Group Checks are extremely useful when two or more characters are performing
  the same operation together; the Game Master always has final say on whether a
  Group Check is possible or should be performed.
</p>
<h3>Example:</h3>
<p>
  Three heroes are trying to persuade the Great Owl to grant them access to her
  ancient library. The leader performs a DL 13 【INS + WLP】 Check, and the two
  supporting characters perform 【INS + WLP】 Checks with a Difficulty of 10.
  They both succeed, and one has a strength 2 Bond towards the leader. Thus, the
  leader's Check will receive a total bonus equal to +4.
