# Core Gameplay

## Skill Checks

A player attempting something that could be subject to failure will perform a
skill check to determine whether they succeed or fail.

A skill check is performed by rolling `1d20`, adding the relevant skill, and
comparing the result to 20. If the result is equal to or greater than `20` then
the action succeeds. If the result is less than `20` then the action fails.

### Critical Rolls

If the number rolled on the dice, before adding any other numbers, is exactly
`20`, the character succeeds at their action no matter what.
If exactly `1` is rolled, then the character fails their action no matter what.

Further consequences, either good or bad, could occur on critical successes or
fails, at the discretion of the GM.
