Checks

Checks are make against a characters skill level.

A skill check is made when you apply a skill to a task


 * Your skill ranks and bonuses are added to a 1d20 roll, the skill check results in success if this total exceeds or equals the Difficulty Class or DC of the task.
 * An opposed skill check is when you roll against another character rather than a static DC.


 * an example of this is if you try to hide - you roll for Hide & your opponents roll for Spot, your total needs to beat theirs to succedd.


 * Take 20 check - when there is no penalty for failure or enemies nearby - it is assumed you will keep trying until you succeed. In these circumstances are assumed to have rolled a 20 on your 1d20 roll.


 * Skill checks never fail or succeed automatically. If a 1 on the 1d20 is enough to beat or equal the DC - then you pass, similarly a 20 does not guarantee success
