[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8762713, member: 70468"] One question. Well, actually two. [LIST] [*]Checks against a static difficulty (no opposition) also require you to roll over. If you had rolled an 11 in your example, that would be a failure. Am I understanding that correctly? [*]You mention that most checks can be attempted even if you don’t have the package, but you also note that many can only be done by Scout, Ranger, or Sage. This seems contradictory, so is it a correct assumption the former refers to checks in play (versus the various checks in the rules that only certain skill packages can attempt)?
