If the success of an Action is uncertain, the player makes an Action Check to determine if the Action succeeds. Perform an Action Check when an opposing force resists the character’s efforts, when the character is under a time constraint, when the environment makes an Action especially difficult, or when the cost of failure is high.

How to Perform an Action Check

Step 1: Player describes the character’s Action.

Step 2: Adventure Guide sets the Difficulty Score (DS).

Step 3: Player determines the Action Score (AS).

Step 4: Player rolls the Action Dice.

Step 5: Adventure Guide describes the results.
