Rule Information

Rule Notes: Mathematics won't likely often be rolled; however, it can form the backbone of a PC's off-camera career.
Common Modifiers: Mathematics is typically rolled at 0, but can be modified based on the difficulty of the task. Simply adding or dividing can be done without a roll; solving a quadratic equation might be rolled at +2; computing the answer to a formula that models the behavior of an extremely complex real-world system might be rolled at -2.
Counterskills: None relevant.
