Skill and Reaction Attempts are decided by comparing a Target Score to your Attempt Score.

The Target score is dependent on the level of Pressure the attempt involves.

The Attempt Score is calculated by

  1. Rolling a D20
  2. Adding the Stat Value the Action involves
  3. Applying any positive or negative modifiers from Statuses, Actions, or Mismatches

Subtract the Attempt Score from the Target Score. That result will fall into one of 4 Outcomes:

ResultOutcome
+7 or higherPerfect
0 to +7Successful
-5 to -1Sloppy
-6 or lowerFail

Use the Outcome to determine what happens next based on the rules for that Skill or Attempt.
