As currently implemented, a dice roll for a skill check of 1 is an auto fail and your bonuses don’t count. Just as a roll of 20 is auto success...
Oh okay, thank you, I didn't know that. Is this explained somewhere in the game and I've just missed the information? If not, it would be great if the game tells you that a roll of 1 is an auto fail and a roll of 20 explains itself, I guess.
