 ==Swift Edition Rules==
 If you are using [[Swift Edition Rules|swift edition rules]], only 2d10 are rolled for any '''skills check'''. To determine the target roll, add the [[Trait]] and [[Skill]] scores together to get the target roll. Roll 2 d10 dice. If the target is matched or rolled under, it is a success.

-A player character must perform a '''skill check''' whenever they want to use a [[Skill]] or [[Combat Skill]] ([[Influence]] is different; see [[Influence Skill Checks]]). This is when the player rolls dice to see if they succeeded or failed. All skills checks are pit against a task of varying [[Difficulty Rating]].

+A player character must sometimes perform a '''skill check''' whenever they want to use a [[Skill]] or [[Combat Skill]] ([[Influence]] is different; see [[Influence Skill Checks]]). This is when the player rolls dice to see if they succeeded or failed, and to what degree. All skills checks are pit against a task of varying [[Difficulty Rating]]. The higher the skill score, the better the chance of pulling off that particular skill.  There are three things one needs to know in order to perform a skills check:

 The skill point for the skill being used indicates what a player must ''roll under'' to achieve success. The more difficult the challenge, the more dice must be under the skill point. Every dice that rolls under the skill score is counted as a success. If the successes equal or exceed the task's Difficulty Rating, the attempt is a success.

-If a player has any + bonuses tied to the skill, they can use these to "help" achieve successes on individual or multiple dice. For example, a +1 bonus to a skill can change one die by one increment (changing a 5 to a 6, for example). A +3 bonus would allow a player to change 1 die by three increments, or they can break it up into 1 increment and 2 increments, or 3 individual increments (changing a 4 to a 7, changing a 1 to a 3 and a 7 to an 8, or changing three fives to three sixes, etc.)

 *[[Flubbed]] - this happens if a character has a Trait score of 10 and a Skill score of 10. Mathematically, this would make every attempt a success, but if that player rolls 3 or more 10s on the dice, the attempt was flubbed, or fumbled.

-A player character is attempting to pick a lock that has a difficulty of 4. [[Lockpicking]] falls under the [[Dexterity]] trait. The character has a Dexterity score of 7 and a Lockpicking score of 5. This means that to succeed, the character rolls 7 total dice, and must have 4 dice be a 5 or lower (4 is the task's difficulty level, 5 is the character's skill score).
