<h1>CHECKS</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The word “Check” indicates a die roll based on a character's core Attributes:
|
|
<strong>Dexterity</strong>, <strong>Insight</strong>, <strong>Might</strong>,
|
|
and <strong>Willpower</strong>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In general, characters must perform Checks:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>When required by the game rules.</strong> Striking a target, casting
|
|
a spell, and using a Class Skill often requires a Check to determine success
|
|
or failure. Effects that do not explicitly call for a Check always succeed
|
|
automatically.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>When asked by the Game Master.</strong> The Game Master has the
|
|
right to ask characters to perform Checks when attempting risky actions,
|
|
facing opposition, or reacting to danger. For the game to run smoothly, the
|
|
Game Master must learn when to ask for a Check and when not to do so (see
|
|
next page).
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that only the Game Master can ask for a Check; Players may never do so.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A Check is presented as a formula indicating which dice you have to roll and
|
|
add up together. Checks always require you to roll exactly two dice.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
<strong>Example:</strong> An <code>【INS + WLP】</code> Check performed by a
|
|
character with d6 Insight and d10 Willpower will result in that character
|
|
rolling a d6 and a d10 and adding them together, thus generating a total
|
|
Result between 2 and 16.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some Checks will also require you to add or subtract a certain number from the
|
|
total you rolled:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
<strong>Example:</strong> A Character performing a
|
|
<code>【MIG + MIG】+5</code> Check will roll their Might die twice and then
|
|
add 5 to the Result.
