+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

+check [<Character or Label>'s ]<Value>[ at <modifier>]

+roll [<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.

Examples

• Rolling a Number

+test 1
[Skill System] <Your Name> rolls a 1 at a modifier of 0. The result is <N>.
