 ===== DCs =====
-The DC is determined by the GM and based
+The DC is determined by the GM and based on the difficulty of the action; it can either be static (based on an obstacle) or opposed (like rolling against another character). You succeed if you meet or exceed the DC. The default DC is 11, and any check that doesn't specify always uses that number. However, the GM may set that target to be anywhere between 5 and 20. The GM may also rule that a task is impossible or so simple that it doesn’t require a check.

+===== Criticals =====
+Any roll of a 20 on a D20 is considered to be a critical success, automatically succeeding. Any roll of a 1 on a D20 is considered to be a critical failure, automatically failing. These special rolls are particularly important because of their effect on the [[durability]] of PC's armor and weapons.
