a measurement of a characters specified knowledge or abilities
A PROFICIENCY represents how well a CHARACTER knows a specific field, tool, or practice.
The list of starting PROFICIENCIES represents what a CHARACTER may know when entering the world. Additional PROFICIENCIES can be learned later through play.
when something says “a relevant PROFICIENCY” it means a really relevant one.
you cant stretch truths to roll irrelevant things. the honed experience should reasonably help you do the task
PROFICIENCY can be measured in MAGNITUDE. PROF MAG scales without limit and can be negative.
PROF MAG represents how many times you have that PROFICIENCY.
if a CHARACTER has 2 PROFS in PAIN, their PAIN MAG is 2
A PROF ROLL is the MAGNITUDE roll for that PROFICIENCY.
if a CHARACTER has 2 PROFS in PAIN, their PAIN ROLL is 1d4
PROFICIENCY does not use STATS in its bonus calculation. Each PROFICIENCY is paired with a STAT for RESULT ROLLS.
