<h1>OPEN CHECKS</h1>
<p>This particular kind of Attribute Check has no Difficulty Level: instead, the Result tells us how well the character performed. These Checks are often used when researching information, examining an area or recalling important lore.</p>
<p>When you perform an Open Check, simply compare the Result with the table below:</p>
<ul>
<li>rolling a 13 while studying an ancient painting means you manage to get information worthy of an expert archaeologist,</li>
<li>while rolling an 8 would only net you basic hints of what the artist wanted to portray.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Result Equates to...</h2>
<p><strong>7+:</strong> What could be accomplished by a person with a bit of training or talent.</p>
<p><strong>10+:</strong> What could be achieved by someone competent or very talented.</p>
<p><strong>13+:</strong> The work of an expert or true prodigy.</p>
<p><strong>16+:</strong> A result worthy of being remembered in history.</p>
<h2>SITUATIONAL MODIFIERS</h2>
<p>If a character performs a Check while in a strongly advantageous or disadvantageous position, the Game Master may impose a +2 bonus or -2 penalty to the Result. For example: Princess Camilla is attempting to persuade the Bandit Queen Remora to stop raiding the nearby village of Karsa; however, Remora's lieutenant T oris is arguing against her. This is an Opposed Check, but Camilla also offers Remora a single favor on behalf of her family.</p>
<p>Because of this, the Game Master grants Camilla a +2 bonus to her Check.</p>
<p>Most of the time you will not need to use situational modifiers — adjusting the Difficulty Level will be more than enough. However, they can prove useful when said Difficulty is established by the rules (such as with an Accuracy Check) or during Opposed Checks (as shown by the example above).</p>
<p>If you are the Game Master, use situational modifiers to reward approaches that take advantage of the opposition's Traits, personality and objectives.</p>

<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.</p>
