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.
