As I’m writing “the night Train” adventure for my Patreons (and seriously thinking of limiting the variety of choices for next month’s poll) I’ve found the need to add in the ability checks of 5e with some minor editing to stay in form with Modern Basic’s (eventually I will rename that) core tenet of being a modern sourcebook for S&W Core.
Here’s an Example:
The Game Master wishes to set an object (the faint chalk outline of a person’s body) up as a major clue to the investigation the players are conducting. The outline has been there for a number of years and is partially faded and covered over with debris making it a difficult task to find it. The GM, however, doesn’t want this to be impossible so he sets the Success Rating (SR) at 16, just over the cusp of the “hard” rating.
| Success Rating | Difficulty |
|
01 – 05
|
Simple – no roll need |
|
06 – 10
|
Easy |
|
11 – 15
|
Normal |
|
16 – 20
|
Hard |
|
21+
|
Impossible |
