-====== Skill and ability checks ====== 
  
-Skill or ability checks can be checked for success by rolling a relevant ability score or under on a //X//d6 scale.  You can combine two ability scores if it calls for it and roll //X//d12.  The difficulty of the check is solely at the discretion of the DM, adjusted by your [[good_at_skills|"good at"]] skills. 
- 
-=== Single Ability Score Check === 
- 
-^ Difficulty      ^  Success is ability \\ score or under  ^ 
-| Easy            |  2d6                                   | 
-| Standard        |  3d6                                   | 
-| Difficult       |  4d6                                   | 
-| Very difficult  |  5d6                                   | 
-| Arduous         |  6d6                                   | 
-| Impossible      |  7d6                                   | 
- 
-=== Dual Ability Score Check === 
- 
-^ Difficulty      ^  Success is combined \\ ability score or under  ^ 
-| Easy            |  2d12                                           | 
-| Standard        |  3d12                                           | 
-| Difficult       |  4d12                                           | 
-| Very difficult  |  5d12                                           | 
-| Arduous         |  6d12                                           | 
-| Impossible      |  7d12                                           |

-=== Thief or Other Percentage Skills === 
- 
-Any percentage-type abilities can be calculated in the way above.  For each 5% in an ability (rounded down) counts as a +1 point bonus to the ability score rolled against. 
- 
-So, for example, a thief attempting to pick pockets with a 40% chance and a 15 Dexterity would need to roll a 15 + (40 ÷ 5) = __23__ or below with //x//d6 (//x// being the number of dice rolled based on difficulty).
