	The Modifiers and Target Number are determined by the type of task. If the resulting roll meets or exceeds the Target Number, the test is successful. Any other result is failure. A "natural" anything is when you roll a d20, in which case you get that number, as opposed to unnatural, meaning that the number was only reached after adding modifiers to it. So a "natural 20" would mean you rolled a d20 and got the number 20 before you added your modifiers. A 'Nat 20' (or Natural 20) in combat usually means a critical hit while a 'Nat 1' means a critical failure. However, critical success and failure only happens while in combat.

	~~== Math? ==~~

	Hate math? Well I would lie if I said I do too... buuuut in gaming it can be a bore. We want gaming to be swift and action packed, and not represent homework. So in general, if you wind up with a fraction, round down, even if the fraction is one-half or larger. A fairly simple rule, and one we hope you never have to use. In short, you should almost never deal with a fraction.

	~~<u>Exception</u>: Certain rolls, such as damage and hit points, have a minimum of 1.~~

	Sometimes a special rule makes you multiply a number or a die roll. As long as you’re applying a single multiplier, multiply the number normally. When two or more multipliers apply however, combine them into a single multiple, with each extra multiple adding 1 less than its value to the first multiple. Thus, a double (x2) and a double (x2) applied to the same number results in a triple (x3, because 2 + 1 = 3). Again we hope to avoid unnecessary extra arithmetic. '''<=(Unsure about this, as it seems that x2 + x2 == x4.)'''

	As you read on, you will learn about game play and the way in which it revolves around the GM/Story Telling informing Players about their surroundings, and the Players acting on that information. In many cases those Player actions require ~~die~~ rolls ~~that add the aforementioned~~ element of randomness to the adventure. [[Combat\|Combat]] has the largest and most involved set of rules explaining what to roll and when, but what about the day to day stuff? Honestly, the amount of role playing in ~~these events~~ depends greatly on ~~your style~~ and ~~on the~~ GM. Whenever there is a conflict or simply any other choice/task where there is a reasonable possibility for some degree of failure, Players should roll. That sounds kinda open to interpretation, and that's because it is. It's designed in such a way as to give freedom to the GM and Players alike.
