Skill Check

"When fighting the first roll serves to measure your ability to hit the target. In a fight, it is often difficult to even hit your enemy, let alone wound them. Battles are frantic and down right chaotic."

Melee
Before rolling, make sure you are standing within range of the target.

Roll 20 and add your Weapon Skill to that.

When you roll a 1 your attack automatically fails, regardless how high your weapon skill is.

If the result is 10 or higher you'll hit your target, unless it's countered.

After all that, determine the damage.

Bow
Remember that you have to be at least 6 blocks away to use a ranged attack. And that your taget is actually in your line of sight.

Roll 20 and add your Range Skill to that.

When you roll a 1 your attack automatically fails, regardless how high your range skill is.

If the result is 10 or higher you'll hit your target and can continue with determining the damage.
