<h2>ACCURACY CHECKS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This type of Check works like a normal Attribute Check, but it is performed
|
||
when a character wants to strike targets that are ready to defend themselves.
|
||
Each weapon lists a specific Accuracy formula; a Steel Dagger, for instance,
|
||
requires a roll of <code>【DEX + INS】</code> +1. The Difficulty Level is
|
||
generally equal to the target's Defense score.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When performing an Accuracy Check, the High Roll (HR) will be used to
|
||
determine how much damage you deal.
|
||

<h2>MAGIC CHECKS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This type of Check works just like a normal Attribute Check too, but it is
|
||
used when a character wants to cast an offensive spell or perform a Ritual.
|
||
The Attributes will depend on the kind of magic used by the character.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When performing a Magic Check, the High Roll (HR) will sometimes be used to
|
||
determine the effectiveness of the spell cast.

|
||
<h2>OPPOSED CHECKS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This special kind of Attribute Check is the fastest way to determine the
|
||
outcome of a competition between characters, such as a race, a chase or a
|
||
debate.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Each character taking part in the Opposed Check performs the same Attribute
|
||
Check, with no Difficulty Level: whoever gets the highest Result is the
|
||
winner. In the case of a draw, the characters that rolled the same Result
|
||
simply repeat the Check until one of them emerges victorious.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
During Opposed Checks, fumbles are the lowest possible Result and critical
|
||
successes are the highest possible Result. They generate opportunities as
|
||
normal; if two or more characters roll a fumble or a critical success, these
|
||
count as a draw and the Checks should be repeated.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p class="example">
|
||
<strong>Example:</strong> Montblanc the knight is struggling to free himself
|
||
from the formidable grasp of a dragon. The GM declares this is an Opposed
|
||
Check using <code>【DEX + MIG】</code>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Montblanc rolls d8 + d10, but the dragon boasts a powerful d12 + d12: when the
|
||
dice hit the table: Montblanc gets 8 and 8, while the dragon rolls 9 and 12.
|
||
Despite the dragon rolling a total of 21, Montblanc’s 16 is a critical
|
||
success: against all odds, the brave knight manages to escape the monster’s
|
||
deadly claws!
