Checks, Thresholds and Chance

A Trait Check is how you find out whether a Persona pulls something off. Roll 2d12, add the Trait’s MOD, and compare the total to the Threshold the GM sets. Equal or higher succeeds.

A Persona who is Adept in the Trait also adds EXP and rolls with Prowess. Prowess adds a die and drops the lowest. Stagger adds a die and drops the highest. The two cancel one for one, and each can stack up to a level-based cap.

Thresholds

Failure and Chance

When a check fails, how far under the Threshold it landed decides the degree of failure. A Persona can spend Chance to turn the failure into a success, which costs more the worse the failure, and the GM adds a Complication. Covering for someone else costs 2 Chance, and you must be Adept in the Trait.

A Light Rest gives back 1 Chance. A Full Rest gives back all of it.
