=== Attribute Checks ===
== Attribute Checks ==
Like attacks, attribute checks involve rolling 1d20 and adding your attribute to the roll. MCs will only ever ask for one of seven attribute Checks: STR, DEX, END, AWR, INT, CHA, or LUCK. MCs will not ask for COR attribute checks, given that COR functions differently from the other seven [[attributes]].

<u>Dexterity (DEX) Checks</u> might be needed if you run along a precipice or try to nimbly sneak past a [[guard]].
 
 
 
<u>Endurance (END) Checks</u> represent your ability to withstand extreme weather and march or run for long stretches of time without giving in.

===  Player Skills ===
Whenever a rule or ability warrants using a specific skill, the rule will signify this mentioning the skill immediately following the attribute, such as CHA/Persuading. A creature without the Persuading skill can still attempt such a check, simply rolling CHA.

While the MC will only ever ask for one of the attribute checks described above, players have the chance to use skills, which give them a greater chance of success under specific circumstances.

Assuming they are both level 1, Hanniah and Marcus both have 2 STR. However, Hanniah has +1 in the Sprinting skill. This means that Marcus rolls 1d20+2 (adding his STR), while Hanniah rolls 1d20+3 (adding her STR and her Sprinting skill).

If you perform well on one skill that impacts another skill, then your MC might grant you a circumstantial bonus on the second skill check. This might be as low as a +1 or as high as a +5, depending upon what the MC feels is appropriate to the situation.

==== Skill Crits ====
Skills are related to a specific attribute and cannot be used with mismatching attributes. Skills are also organized by tags; if you gain an ability that lets you gain a skill with a specific tag, check the table below to see your options. Each skill is organized first by attribute, then by tag. Skills are described in more detail after these tables, although these descriptions are not comprehensive and your MC may allow other applications of these skills if you come up with creative ideas.
When you make an attribute check, if you critically fail, then the worst possible outcome of the scene befalls you. This might range in severity from being publicly embarrassed by a rival socialite to missing a foothold on a sheer cliff and plummeting to your death. If you crit on an attribute check, then you achieve the best outcome that it was feasible for you to achieve. A crit does not defy reality. If you crit on a STR check with the Athletics skill, for example, then you still cannot lift an entire castle, but you might lift more than you have ever managed before.
 
'''Note:''' No matter how many abilities you have that let you increase your crit range, your crit range can never be larger than 16-20.
