How to Make a Skill Roll
GM sets Difficulty Rating |
PC describes their goal and approach along with skill choice and tools they will use |
At GM's discretion, a +2 or -2 bonus or penalty may be applied if they think the approach is good/bad |
Roll 3d6 and add skill modifier |
| |
Roll of 6 = STRONG HIT |
| |
A GRIT re-roll point may be spent to re-roll ALL dice |
| |
Trained skills grant +1 Modifier, Untrained skills apply a -2 penalty |
| |
Toolboxes grant a +1 to the applicable skill (doesn't stack) |
| |
Workshops grant a +1 bonus, which CAN stack with the Toolbox +1. As long as the PC has regular access to the workshop, they gain this bonus, they don't have to be AT the workshop when performing the skill check |
Unexpected Consequences |
If you roll +4 or -4 compared the the difficulty rating, you trigger a special bonus/penalty determined by the GM. See p 16 for suggestions |
Helping another PC |
PCs can help one another. The assisting PC must pass a skill check of 10 Difficulty, using an appropriate skill. If they succeed, they grant a +1 to the main PCs skill check |
Retrying |
You may repeat the skill check if you fail, but you take a -2 penalty, cumulative for each attempt. This also applies to other PCs attempting to retry your failed skill check. |
| |
Retries ALWAYS trigger an Unexpected Negative Consequence |
| |
Retry rules to no apply to Acquisition rolls |
Trade Goods
Obtaining a Trade Good |
You may make a 12t Acquisition Roll to gain a Trade Good, assuming there is a suitable provider |
| |
4 trade goods can be converted to 1 resource |
| |
Trade goods are typically an abstraction of looted gear or a reward |
Money |
Requires one equipment slot per 4 Goods. Requires 0 cargo space. |
| |
1 Money Trade Good can be spent to gain a +1 on a previously failed roll where wealth would have helped (stacks) |
|
|
STRONG HITS - natural 6's on checks
Common Strong Hit Options (everyone can access) |
Effort: You may choose to re-roll a single die from the current roll |
| |
Critical Hit: Can use once per attack. All damaged targets suffer your weapon's Critical Damage minus armor value directly to a randomly chosen ATTRIBUTE |
| |
Critical Boost: +1 Critical Damage vs all damaged characters who are currently at 0 ENDURANCE (can stack) |
see p17 of the rulebook for additional details
Difficulty Ratings
Routine |
No roll needed if you are trained in the skill |
Moderately difficult |
Set Target Difficulty to 12 or 14 |
Very Difficult |
16 |
Extremely Difficult |
18+ |
ARCANE Rolls
Any Skill or Acquisition roll may be turned into an ARCANE roll |
| |
Using ARCANE powers will increase the difficulty rating of the check by at least +2 |
| |
Failure always triggers a negative Unexpected Consequence |
see p. 23 for more details
Acquisition Rolls and Spare Time Points
Spare Time Points |
Acquisition point is lost even if Acquisition roll fails |
| |
Found items do not require an Acquisition roll |
| |
You gain 1 Spare Time Point at the start of every session |
| |
At character creation, you may acquire any item or service with a cost of 14 time (t) or less, but it does cost an Acquisition point |
Acquisition Rolls |
Spend a Spare Time Point to attempt |
| |
Any item with a "t" in the Acquire Cost means you must make an Acquisition Roll to acquire it |
| |
The difficulty of the Acquisition Roll is equal to the Acquire # - ex Acquire 12t means spend one Acquisition point, and you must roll 12 or higher to get it |
| |
The skill used in the roll is determined by the PCs approach (ex, using Wealth to simply buy something, Mechanics to build the item, etc. Awareness cannot be used) |
Helping on an Acquisition Rolls |
Costs the helper a Spare Time point, too, and only grants a +1. |
Sharing Spare Time Pts |
Can only be used for Heal or Repair Attribute Damage |
Found items |
Have no cost in Spare Time Points nor do they need an Acquisition Roll. Knowledge costs do need to be paid |
