Dice Checks
In DikuMUD as in many other game systems, many checks are resolved with dice rolls.
An open-ended 1d100 roll (1d100OE) forms the basis for most checks. The open-ended rolls works like this:
If you roll 96-100, roll again and add to the previous result (repeat if 96-100). If you roll 1-5, roll again and subtract from the previous result (repeat if 96-100).
A check is generally successful if: (skill + 1d100OE) >= 100.
For example, if your skills is 20, you would generally need to roll 80 or above for success.
