 EXPERTISES
Whenever you try to take an action with an uncertain outcome, you make a test. Tests use the mechanics
basic of the game. In summary, whenever you are about to perform a test, you must follow the sequence below:

The player says what their Investigator will do. For example, 'I will try to climb the wall.'

The master announces which skill should be involved in the test. For example, climbing a wall would be a
athletics test. Then, choose an appropriate DT (Test Difficulty) for the test (but
keep it a secret).

The player rolls a twenty-sided die (d20), plus 1d20 for each attribute point used in the test.
he will always roll at least 1d20, even if the attribute is negative). At this moment, it should
announce if you have extra data by skills and combine it with the d20 you are about to play.

The player rolls the d20 and announces the value of the highest result among the dice if their attribute is
positive, or the lowest if it is negative. To this number, add your modifiers.

The master compares the announced final result with the DT. If the result of the roll was equal or
greater than DT, the character succeeds in the test. Otherwise, it is a failure.
