[QUOTE="daddystabz, post: 4492904, member: 54231"] One additional question.....I see that skills work by taking the skill and looking at what attribute it is linked to and then rolling under that attribute in order to be successful on a skill test. So for instance, if you have the basic skill Gamble (Intelligence) and your Intelligence score is 40%, you must roll under 40% on the percentile dice in order to be successful in using this skill. However, how would you treat an unskilled attempt? For what I can see you get no advantage for having a skill from a class except that you can use this skill now. Can you never make an unskilled attempt and if so, do you take any kind of penalty for not having the skill? I could not find anywhere in the rules that cover unskilled attempts. What if you are in a tavern and you want to gamble against an NPC there but Gamble is not a class skill for you? Does that mean you cannot attempt to do so? Or is there some kind of way to handle unskilled attempts but simply at a minus? [/QUOTE]
