Using your Skill Bonus

Player: “I want to fire a grappling arrow with my bow and try to hook the rooftop of that distant building. I have my Bow Master Skill that uses my PA stat.”

GM: Okay. Your PA is a D12, and at level 1 your Skill Bonus is a 3. Go ahead and roll a D20 plus a D12, then add your Skill Bonus modifier to the result. We’ll see if your grappling hook catches hold.”
