Passive Skill Checks
There Are Times When Skill Checks Go On In The Background, Like When You Notice Something Out Of The Corner Of Your Eye.
The Following Is How Passive Skill Checks Are Calculated:
10 + Stat + Bonuses
(Unlocking Bonuses in training rules For More Info)
The Number Acts As A DC Or Dice Check For Anyone Contesting It Consciously
(EX: Someone Rolling Stealth Is Contesting Someone Else’s Passive Perception)
For Magic, Replace The “Any Bonuses” Number By The Tier Of The Spell
Added Bonus
Having a bonus to something means you are considered proficient in it.
Pretty Simple, Bonuses Add Onto Rolls Like Skill Checks, Weapon Attacks, Saving Throws, & More!
They Also Assist In Calculating Dice Checks (DCs) And Passive Checks.
Jumping, Lifting, & More
As An Extra Action You Can Roll A Lift And Launch Skill Check To Attempt To Either Lift Something Very Heavy Or Throw Something As Far As You Can. It’s Up To The DM The Extremes Each Reaches.
A Creature Can Take An Action or bonus action To Attempt To Jump On Their Turn. They Can Make A Vertical Or Horizontal Jump, Making An Athletics Or Acrobatics Check To Determine The Success Of Said Jump.
When A Normal Creature Attempts To Swim Or Climb, They Must Roll In Order To Succeed And Even Then They Can Only Swim Or Climb Up To Half Of Their Movement Speed Unless They Have An Ability That Says Otherwise.
Land Considered Difficult Terrain Halves Your Movement Unless You Have An Ability That Says Otherwise.
Dice Checks (DC)
Instead of rolling to break a creature’s armor class, sometimes you roll to resist an incoming effect. that minimum goal to be is a Dice Check (DC).
You resist a DC with a saving throw, usually Avoiding damage/conditions upon meeting or surpassing the DC.
“if it meets it beats!”
The Following Equation Is How DCs Are Calculated:
8

Saving Throws
A Type Of Roll Where You Resist An Effect Brought On By An Outside Source. Examples Include Rolling To Dodge A Fireball Or To Mentally Resist A Psychic Attack.
Saving Throws Aren’t Just Using Your Stats Alone, There Are A Select Few Skill Checks That Are Used For These Resist Type Rolls-
For Strength:
Use Athletics & Blocking
For Dexterity:
Use Acrobatics & Sleight Of Hand
For Constitution:
Use Tolerance & Fortitude
For Mental Stats:
Use Will + one of the mental stats or you can use custom skill checks like spirit or arcana if they use a mental stat.
To Differentiate From Normal Skill Checks, Please Say Something Along The Lines Of “Please Make An Athletics Saving Throw”
Abilities That Trigger Upon Rolling A Skill Check Will Not Apply For These, Technically These Are Saving Throws Using Skill Check Bonuses. This Is Specifically Targeting The Universal Ability “Reliable Talent”
Spellbooks
Many Casters Have Created Various Spells Long Before You. Their Greatest And Lamest Have Been Eternally Preserved In Books Containing Spells. The spellbook must be held in some way in order to use it.
Anyone Can Use A Spellbook, Whether They Have Mana Or Not. There Are Two Ways To Use A Spellbook:
- Mana Route:
You Can Simply Use The Necessary Mana Points or another resource pool For A Spell Written Down In The Book. 1 mana or 1 point from another resource would equal a resource point in a spellbook.
- Sacrificial Route:
You Can Sacrifice Something Or Someone In Order To Cast A Spell. The Following Are Applicable:
- An Objects Of Equal Value
- Parts Of A Creature
