| - The Bluth family are notorious for writing checks
- Checks are make against a characters skill level. A skill check is made when you apply a skill to a task
* Your skill ranks and bonuses are added to a 1d20 roll, the skill check results in success if this total exceeds or equals the Difficulty Class or DC of the task.
* An opposed skill check is when you roll against another character rather than a static DC. an example of this is if you try to hide - you roll for Hide & your opponents roll for Spot, your total needs to beat theirs to succedd.
* Take 20 check - when there is no penalty for failure or enemies nearby - it is assumed you will keep trying until you succeed. In these circumstances are assumed to have rolled a 20 on your 1d20 roll.
* Skill checks never fail or succeed automatically. If a 1 on the 1d20 is enough
- From time to time in the course of the game, you will see a PICK NOW link, requiring you to Pick A Number. The reasons for picking the number vary, as do the variety of results. The result could be as inconsequential as losing or winning a card game, or as life-altering as successfully jumping across a chasm with a 1,000 foot drop.
- Checks are instruments of finance used by banks to shuffle pretend money around. They are basically promises. When you write a check to someone, you are saying 'I promise that, like, you can have this money. But I don't have it with me. Its at my bank. But if you take this check to your bank, your bank will talk to my bank, and my bank will give my money to your bank, and then your bank will give it to you.' Awesome, right?

The result could be as inconsequential as losing or winning a card game, or as life-altering as successfully jumping across a chasm with a 1,000 foot drop. When this happens, the game is "checking" your actual performance (and sometimes simple good/bad fortune) at that moment in time against random circumstances, so for the sake of simplicity (and since there seems to be no in-game label for this), we will use the generic term of "Check" to reference the general act of picking a random number.

The other awesome thing about checks is that people actually believe this bullshit. It is great! You can go into any store in America, write a check, and walk out with a new refrigerator, TV set, car, or basically anything else you could want, all without working for it. That, my friends, is the beauty of America and American capitalism. Well, at least it was, until a few years ago when this infernal machine called the computer was invented. It has basically ruined the system by allowing your marks... I mean ... your payee, to instantaneously call up your bank and see if you really do 1. have an account there and 2. have money in that account. It is a tragedy, and largely responsible for the decline of America in the eyes of the world.
