Ability Checks
- To pass a check, roll a D20 based upon the corresponding skill then add the ability modifier.
- If the combined value is higher than the difficulty value, you've passed the check.
- Failure will result if the combined value is less than the difficulty value.
- The level of difficulty for any action will be determined by the GM.
"I want to knock this enemy unconscious with my fists."
"My strength score is 14, and the difficulty class (DC) is Medium(15)
"I rolled a 13. That means my combined score is 13(D20 Roll) plus the modifier from my ability score, +2, which is 15."
"I have successfully passed the check.
"My strength score is 14, and the difficulty class (DC) is Medium(15)
"I rolled a 13. That means my combined score is 13(D20 Roll) plus the modifier from my ability score, +2, which is 15."
"I have successfully passed the check.
Advantage and Disadvantages
- Your character might encounter a situation where they have an advantage.
- This case will allow your character to roll 2 D20s.
- Then you can use the highest score of both rolls.
- Disadvantages work in the opposite fashion, requiring you to use the lowest of the rolls.
- Sometimes two characters can team up to accomplish something
- The one with the highest ability modifier will roll with advantage.
- Every character makes the corresponding ability check.
- The group succeeds if half the group passes the check.
- All characters have, by default, 8 hit points.
- Your Constitution Modifier may add on additional hit-points. Any Constitution score below 10 will not provide a hit-point modifier.
- Your character will lose a hit-point whenever they fail a saving throw.
- These throws are made if your character is in direct harm.
- They are essentially ability checks, but failure results in the loss of a hit-point.
- Once a player hits 0 hit-points and fails the corresponding saving throw, the character will die.
