+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.

Examples

  • +test 1 (Number)
[Skill System] <Your Name> rolls a 1 at a modifier of 0. The result is <N>.
  • +test Computer (Skill)
[Skill System] <Your Name> tests his Computer skill at a modifier of <N>. The result is 3.
  • +test Edged (Specialty)
[Skill System] <Your Name> tests his Melee + Edged at a modifier of <N>. The result is 1.
  • +test Telepathic Potential (Trait)

  • +test Vehicles at +1 (Modifier)
