Wondering what the chance of a given result is in Alternity? Or what change a shift in the bonus or penalty die can have on the probable outcome of a feat check? Check the following tables and find out...
To find out the chance that a character will succeed at an action, find his action/skill/feat total in the relevant column below, then add up all of the percentages from that number to the top of the column. For example, if the character has a skill total of 10, and with all bonuses and penalties he ends up with a +d0 situation die, then the chance that he'll succeed is 5%+5%+5%+5%+5%+5%+5%+5%+5%+5%+0%, or 50%.
The "0:" line in the bonus columns indicates a result where the situation die is greater than the control die (that is, the result is 0 or a negative number, and thus an automatic success).
