Skill checks use your skill level to determine your dice pool.

Roll X dice, keep lowest (except for unskilled, where it's take the highest):

Skill Levels

64+ Legendary           (6d20L)
32-63 Master            (5d20L)
16-31 Expert            (4d20L)
8-15 Professional       (3d20L)
4-7 Competent           (2d20L)
1-3 Novice              (1d20)
0 Unskilled             (2d20H)

Your Task Number is your applicable Attribute level, modified by Difficulty:

Difficulty Modifier

Trivial +5
Laughable +4
Everyday +3
Easy +2
Simple +1
Normal ±0
Complex –1
Challenging –2
Difficult –3
Daunting –4
Impossible –5 (or worse)

Margin of Success (MOS) and Margin of Failure (MOF):

Many rolls are not simple pass/fail. This system also factors in how well you pass or how badly you fail.

If you succeed then subtract the number you rolled from the TN. The difference is the Margin of Success (MOS). For example if you roll a 5 on a TN8 roll your MOS is 3. Calculating the Margin of Failure (MoF) is the same, in reverse. That is, if you fail your roll you subtract the number you rolled by the TN and the difference is your MoF.

Exceptional Success:

You will typically be rolling several dice to beat the TN. The other dice that are also successes each add another 2 MOS.

Critical Hits and Misses:

A MOS of 5 or greater is a complete success (critical hit). A MOF of 5 or more indicates a complete and utter failure.
