The Elder Scrolls Unofficial 3rd edition Sheets By Andrew Bowker

I'm not sure who I'd talk to about this, I've been looking over the sheets and through the book and discovered the sheets don't accurately calculate dice rolls.  The Skill is supposed to add to the TN (Which in most cases is the pertaining attribute) and then roll % trying to roll <= TN, However the character sheet just has the skill level subtract from the 1d100, which brings up the problem of inaccurately portraying degree's of success.  Example TN is 50 Skill level is Journeyman (+20) As it stands it rolls d100-20 vs TN 50 It should be d100 vs TN 70

How do you calculate levels of success in this game? The sheet may work this way to work around roll20 dice roll limitations. If degrees of success are based on a difference from the roll (succeed by 20, succeed by 40,etc), this method makes it easy to calculate them, whereas roll20's roll under method would make it impossible.

the way wit works is you test a percentile against the target number, which the target number is the only thing that should be modified. the percentile shouldn't be modified. To calculate degrees of success you just look at the number in the tens place on the percentile. So if you had to roll under a 47 and you rolled 39 then you'd have 3 degrees of success, but if you rolled between 40-47 you'd have 4 degrees of success. Which means the higher the target number the more degrees of success you can have. But if you rolled a 50, you've failed the roll so no degrees of success. Additionally, if you succeed the roll you always have at least 1 degree of success. even if you rolled less then 10. Finally if the target number goes over 100, say it goes to 120, than you add the 10s place from the TN to the degrees of success. So if you rolled a 50 against TN 120 you'd have 7 degrees of success.

In that case, it does seem like the sheet isnt doing it properly, but would likely need some significant work on creating a rolltemplate for the sheet to handle it. Sorry I couldnt be more help. It looks like Andrew Bowkers's roll20 id is&nbsp;501686, so you could try messaging him at&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/501686/andrew-b" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/501686/andrew-b</a> He's never posted on the roll20 forums so he may not check here, though.
Alright I appreciate it!
