+<h2>DIFFICULTY LEVELS</h2>
+
+<p>A Check’s Difficulty Level (DL) is a measure of how complex and risky a certain operation can be. It abstracts several elements into a single number:</p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li>The amount of knowledge and expertise required to complete the operation.</li>
+    <li>Any helpful or hindering circumstances such as harsh weather conditions, poor visibility, exhaustion, or supernatural influences.</li>
+    <li>The lack or presence of important resources (time, space, materials, etc.) that are needed to achieve the character’s goal.</li>
+    <li>The kind of impact the action will have on the story, be it now or later.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In summary, Difficulty is an abstraction of how the current situation is opposing or hindering the character. The true question you should ask yourself when determining the Difficulty Level for a check, as indicated by the table below, is “Who is likely to accomplish this?”</p>
+

+            <th>DL</th>
+            <th>Action Difficulty</th>
+            <th>Who is likely to accomplish this?</th>
+        </tr>

+            <td>7</td>
+            <td>Easy</td>
+            <td>Anyone with a bit of training or natural talent.</td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr>
+            <td>10</td>
+            <td>Normal</td>
+            <td>A competent person, or a very talented one.</td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr>
+            <td>13</td>
+            <td>Hard</td>
+            <td>An expert or a prodigy.</td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr>
+            <td>16</td>
+            <td>Very Hard</td>
+            <td>Someone who is among the very best in that field.</td>
+        </tr>
+    </tbody>
+</table>

+<h3>GO WITH TEN</h3>
+
+<p>If you are the Game Master and find yourself stumped when choosing an appropriate Difficulty Level for a Check, use 10: it is neither too low nor too high, and it's easy to remember.</p>
