From OtherSpace: Encyclopedia Galactica
+test (alternately +check or +roll) can be used to test a character's level in a given trait. The result of the check is equal to the level in the trait, plus any modifiers, plus a random number.
Usage
+test [<Character or Label>'s ]<Value>[ at <modifier>]
- <Value> is one of the following:
- A Number
- A Skill
- A Specialty
- A 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.
