ACCURACY CHECKS

This type of Check works like a normal Attribute Check, but it is performed when a character wants to strike targets that are ready to defend themselves. Each weapon lists a specific Accuracy formula; a Steel Dagger, for instance, requires a roll of 【DEX + INS】 +1. The Difficulty Level is generally equal to the target’s Defense score.

When performing an Accuracy Check, the High Roll (HR) will be used to determine how much damage you deal.

MAGIC CHECKS

This type of Check works just like a normal Attribute Check too, but it is used when a character wants to cast an offensive spell or perform a Ritual. The Attributes will depend on the kind of magic used by the character.

When performing a Magic Check, the High Roll (HR) will sometimes be used to determine the effectiveness of the spell cast.

You can find more about magic starting on page 112.

OPPOSED CHECKS

This special kind of Attribute Check is the fastest way to determine the outcome of a competition between characters, such as a race, a chase or a debate.

Each character taking part in the Opposed Check performs the same Attribute Check, with no Difficulty Level: whoever gets the highest Result is the winner. In the case of a draw, the characters that rolled the same Result simply repeat the Check until one of them emerges victorious.

During Opposed Checks, fumbles are the lowest possible Result and critical successes are the highest possible Result. They generate opportunities as normal; if two or more characters roll a fumble or a critical success, these count as a draw and the Checks should be repeated.

Example

Montblanc the knight is struggling to free himself from the formidable grasp of a dragon. The GM declares this is an Opposed Check using 【DEX + MIG】.

Montblanc rolls d8 + d10, but the dragon boasts a powerful d12 + d12: when the dice hit the table: Montblanc gets 8 and 8, while the dragon rolls 9 and 12. Despite the dragon rolling a total of 21, Montblanc’s 16 is a critical success: against all odds, the brave knight manages to escape the monster’s deadly claws!
