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>
