Dice Bags, Skill Checks, Ability Checks and Opposing Checks

[kalbaern]

While there is no ETA, and it might just be semi-ongoing project, I'd like to update or upgrade our PC Dice Bags soon. In particular, I'll be rewriting the conversation used so those not familiar with PnP rules sets can better understand and use them. Notes explaining how checks are used/made along with what if any, are the options to oppose these checks.

If folks have links to any good sources for this info, please post them here.

Not a huge change, however I recommend setting the default broadcast to Public since most people would be using it as a skill/stat roll that another person would need to see in order to react/emote.

It doesn't take too long to change it if you know what you're doing, however those who haven't worked with the item before may take some time to figure out how to ensure others see their stat rolls.

Now, a bit more on-topic:
Skill Roles can be pretty complex depending on how in-depth you are looking to roleplay them. For example: "Bluff" doesn't necessarily mean someone is outright lying. It can be a more subtle deception for those who might be observing the 'bluffer'. I have often rolled Bluff when I am attempting to feign ignorance or concern to another character.

That all being said, are you looking for something that goes deep with the explanation? Or something that provides players with a more basic understanding of the purpose behind the Skills from an RP-perspective?
