I haven’t tried it out.Roll d00 and add character attribute to the result.Compare it to a percentile table divided into five equal ranges representing five different dice from fewest sides (01-20 = d4) to most sides (81-00 = d12).Roll the die indicated and multiply it by the attribute in question. The result is the percent chance of success.Attempting things properly in the domain of a different class (thievery, using magic items) does not get a multiplier. The chance of success is the character's raw ability score. DM's discretion to halve or quarter the chance of success and introducing chance of catastrophic, backfirish failure.</blockquote>
