OSR [Let's Read] The Nightmares Underneath: 2nd Edition

[Libertad]

For what it's worth, I realize that I mispoke on a rather important game mechanic and made the appropriate changes in Basic Resolution Rules. When it comes to adding level to overcome rolls, they're added on top of instead of as a substitute for the appropriate attribute modifier. Here's the changed text:

Overcome Attempts represent opposing and contested actions, where the “overcomer” must roll a d20 + an appropriate attribute modifier equal to or greater than the opposition’s relevant attribute score; some situations allow one to add the level of a relevant profession* to the d20 result. We have a half-page worth of common Overcome results, ranging from spotting someone sneaking (overcome their Dexterity with your Intelligence modifier), Intimidation (overcome their Willpower with your Ferocity modifier), and even attack rolls (overcome their Armour Rating [a non-attribute exception] with your Ferocity or Dexterity modifier depending upon melee or ranged attack).

Edit: You add your level on top of the attribute score modifier when the former would apply as a bonus.
