If the environment acts on you, you want to roll over your attribute score. 🠟 If you act on the environment, you want to roll under your attribute score.
My friend, my translation into Portuguese left this part of the text a bit confusing for me, could you put a brief explanation of this part please...
Essentially, if something bad happens to you like: getting attacked, a trap goes off, resisting a poison or disease; then you need to roll over your score. And if you want to do an action against something, like: attacking, rolling for a skill/talent, do magic; then you need to roll under your score. Do you think that this is currently unclear? I can make an update on the page to clarify it more.
So if something bad happens to my character I need to roll a number lower than my stat to succeed, and if I try to do something like attack I need to roll a number higher than my stat to succeed...
If that's what I understood, I would suggest that you put, '' roll it down'' or '' roll it up'', or even ''value less than your attribute'' or value greater than your attribute''. I think it would be clearer...
Note: Congratulations on the mechanics, I loved it!!!
Thank you for your interest in my work. I really appreciate it.
About your comment it is the other way around. You want higher stats on your attributes to make good things happen more easily, and bad tings less frequent. For example with combat you want high stats to make attacking easier and make your defenses better. So attacking you need to roll under (value less than) your attribute, and being attacked (defending) you need to roll over(value greater than) your attribute.
I used the terms "roll over" and "roll under" because these are terms often used in ttrpg. For example see "Lasers & Feelings" which also uses this term. I added examples in V1.2 in the hopes that this makes it more clearer.
