+## Anatomy
+
+- Uses a single D6
+- Used when a simple *Yes* or *No* is required
+- Mainly used during **Encounters**
+- **Result** of roll is compared to the *Obstacle:*
+  - `Result === 1 [⚀]` => *Bane*
+  - `Result < Ob.` => *Failure*
+  - `Result = Ob.` => *Complication*
+  - `Result > Ob.` => *Success*
+  - `Result === 6 [⚅]` => *Boon*
+
+## Favour & Peril
+
+- **Favoured:** Add an additional die to the roll and take the higher result
+- **Perilous:** Add an additional die to the roll and take the lower result
+
+## Obstacle
+
+- Always calculate on the basis of a skill or characteristic
+- Depends on the check's *Mode*
+
+**Note**
+For Obstacle > 6, *Boon_ requires confirmation by rolling success again
+
+### Unopposed Checks
+
+*Unopposed checks* use the following table to calculate *Ob.*
+

+Groups with a greater appetite for granulation my use the following table:

+{% /table %}
+
+- **Ob. 9+** requires a result of 6, followed by a 6
+- **Ob.  8+** requires a result of 6, followed by a 5 or 6
+- **Ob. 7+** requires a result of 6, followed by a 4,5 or 6
+- **2/x** means that on a *Failure,* the model may re-roll for free and achieve a *Success* (not a *Boon*) using the second Ob.
+
+Note that this option can slow the game significantly down, and the core rules assume that the simpler table is used
+{% /Callout %}
+
+### Opposed Checks
+
+- **Instigator (T)** is the model attempting the action (row)
+- **Target (T)** is the model targeted by the action
+- Determine **TN** by looking for the Instigator's modifed value and the column for the target's value
