Redefining Resisted Skill Rolls

A rules update for resolving initiative and other resisted Skill rolls during play. For a normal Skill roll, the player aims to roll as close to the character’s Base Chance as possible without exceeding it. In a resisted Skill roll, each participant attempts the roll, and the character with the highest successful result wins. These rules replace the corresponding procedures in the core rulebook unless otherwise noted.
