+# Resolving Checks
+When the player attempts to do an action and the GM has determined it is not trivial(e.g failure is possible and not insignificant) the GM should give the player a check which will determine the fate of their action.
+
+Here is an explanation of each step of a check.
+
+---
+
+### 1. Action Request
+Player asks to do an action or ability, naming a relevant discipline and/or object if applicable which would assist them(players are **NOT** to state they are 'using' or 'intending to use' a stat)
+
+### 2. Determine Difficulties and Advantages
+GM determines how difficult a check is and what the relevant skill is.
+| Medium | Hard | Extreme | Borderline Impossible |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 3-4 | 5-7 | 8-10 | 11-12 |
+
+Subtract the player's relevant skill from the difficulty. If they are using a relevant skill then subtract 2 more.
+
+### 3. Resolve the Check
+The player resolves the check by rolling. If the result is higher or equal to the difficulty then they succeed. Otherwise they fail.
