<h2>PERFORMING AN ATTRIBUTE CHECK</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
in its most basic form, a Check is known as an Attribute Check and works as
|
|
follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The character performing the Check states which goal they want to
|
|
accomplish; the Game Master may also want to further clarify what can be
|
|
achieved by succeeding at the Check. Sometimes, the goal will be the
|
|
successful application of a Skill.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The Player controlling the character describes their approach to the
|
|
situation, which is to say, how they intend to pursue their goal. Based on
|
|
that approach, the Game Master chooses which Attributes must be rolled, such
|
|
as <span>【 DEX + MIG】</span> or <span>【WLP + WLP】</span>. Sometimes, the
|
|
appropriate Attributes will be indicated by a specific rule.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The Game Master declares the Difficulty Level (DL) for the Check, using the
|
|
table on the next page as a reference. Sometimes, the Difficulty Level will
|
|
be indicated by a specific rule. The Game Master must also inform the Player
|
|
about what the consequences of a failure will be, making sure everyone
|
|
understands what is at stake.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The character rolls the appropriate dice, adding them together and applying
|
|
any relevant modifiers coming from Skills, spells, equipment, or other
|
|
effects.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If the character rolled a fumble or a critical success, apply the
|
|
corresponding effects (including the automatic failure or success).
|
|
Otherwise...
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
... if the Result of the Check is greater than or equal to the Difficulty
|
|
Level, the character succeeds. If it is lower, the character fails.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Finally, the outcome of the Check changes the current situation: either the
|
|
character achieved their goal, or things took a turn for the worse. For more
|
|
