Rolling
The character sheet uses an inbuilt roller to roll and calculate dice rolls, which is then displayed in a Roll Template. These results always include the Score, MOS (difference between the Score and the TN) and the dice actually rolled.
Global Variables
The sheet uses the same global variables for each roll, found at the beginning of the Skills section on the Character page and the Weapons Systems section on the Gear page. These are applied to every roll and allow players to set the Bonus Dice, TN and reliable dice for each roll.
Some bonuses and penalties are not automatically calculated
Damage penalties, equipment, bonuses from perks/flaws and conditions are not automatically calculated. Use the Global Variables to include these in rolls.
Reliable/Unreliable dice and favored skills
Reliable and Unreliable dice are shown on the roll template. The dice are shown in the form "X reliable dice A|B|C|D|E|F". X is reliable/unreliable dice, unreliable dice will show X as negative. A-F are the removed dice values, where A is dice showing ones and F is dice showing sixes. Favored skills are automatically given reliable 1.
Untrained
The sheet automatically applies a -1d6 penalty dice to untrained rolls (rolls where the skill level is 0).
Expertise
The sheet automatically calculates expertise bonuses; doubles for expertise 2 and TB:1 for expertise 3. The Roll Template will show Doubles X when it calculates doubles, where X will be the dice removed. Doubles 0 means the roller tried to find doubles but there was none to be found.
Char Sheet
Clicking the checkbox next to "i:" will show additional fields to add more information. Clicking the checkbox again will hide the information.
