EXAMPLE
Meatboy found his target, a fat, large man, and is currently following him from his restaurant back to his home. They are currently in the park. Suddenly, the man’s wallet drops from his back pocket onto the floor.
As he turns around to pick it up, Meatboy decides to hide in the shadow of a nearby tree. He does a dexterity roll. This action warrants a difficulty of 20. He gets dice rolls of 3, 3, 5, a total of 11. This, added to his dexterity of 12, gives him 23, and he successfully hides in the shadows.
As the man nears a deserted alleyway, Meatboy decides it’s time to strike. He gets behind the man and uses his wrestling technique to do a blood choke.
A blood choke requires a 24 difficulty roll. Fortunately, Meatboy has the Wrestling combat skill, which adds +2 to his roll. His eventual roll is 6 + 3 + 3 = 12. He adds this to his strength stat of 12 and adds a +2 from his wrestling skill, resulting in a 26. He chokes out the man with no difficulty.
At this point, however, a passer-by sees the scene and is extremely shocked. Meatboy tries to explain to the passer-by that this man is a drunkard and he’s merely helping him back home.
This feat is only of 15 difficulty, and most people can complete it successfully. Unfortunately, Meatboy has an extraordinarily low Charisma. He rolls a 2 + 1 + 5 = 8. He adds his 5 Charisma to the roll, but unfortunately, he comes up with 13, and is unable to properly convey his message, instead making deep animalistic growls at the passer-by, who quickly whips out his phone to call the police.
