+check, +roll, and +test can be used interchangeably to test a character's level in a given skill, specialty, or trait, or to roll an arbitrary level.
Except when checking a trait, the result is equal to the value of the attribute being rolled, plus a random number.
Usage
+test [<Character or Label>'s ]<Value>[ at <modifier>] +test [<Character or Label>'s ]<Value>[ at <modifier>] +test [<Character or Label>'s ]<Value>[ at <modifier>]
- <Value> is one of the following:
- A Number - rolls the specified level.
- A Skill - rolls the level of the specified skill.
- A Specialty - rolls the specialty plus the associated skill.
- A Trait - simply returns the level of the trait.
- <Modifier> is a number added or subtracted to the Value.
- <Character> is an admin-only option which allows you to roll another player's trait, rather than your own.
- <Label> is similar to <Character>, but only works when rolling a number. It can be used by any player.
