 ## Penalties
 
-Penalties work very much like bonuses. You can have **circumstance penalties**, **status penalties**, and sometimes even **item** penalties. Like bonuses of the same type, you take only the worst all of various penalties of a given type.
+For **circumstance**, **status** and **item** penalties, apply only the most severe penalty of each type. A bonus and a penalty of the same type can both apply: a +1 status bonus and a -2 status penalty give a net -1.

-| Success | DC or more |

+For example, a total of 28 against DC 18 is a critical success; 27 is a success. A total of 9 is a failure; 8 is a critical failure. These are the degrees **before** adjusting for the die itself.

 Then the die itself can shift the result one step:
 
 - A natural 20 (the d20 shows 20) makes the result one step better.
 - A natural 1 makes it one step worse.
 
+Critical success is the best degree and critical failure is the worst; the die cannot shift beyond them. Apply a natural 20 or natural 1 before any ability that changes the degree.
+
 If an effect lists no critical success, a critical success does what a success does. Likewise, with no critical failure listed, a critical failure does what a failure does.

+## Before your first roll
+
+The **Game Master (GM)** presents the world, plays other creatures and decides how the rules apply. Each player usually controls one **player character (PC)**, describing what that character tries to do. Your group makes the rolls and resolves their effects; this wiki supplies the reference and practice examples.
+
+Dice notation tells you what to roll:
+
+- **d20** means a 20-sided die. For a check, roll it and add the applicable modifier from your sheet.
+- **1d8+4** means roll one 8-sided die, then add 4.
+- **2d8+4** means roll two 8-sided dice, add their results, then add 4 **once**. Rolls of 3 and 6 give `3 + 6 + 4 = 13`.
+- **2d4** means roll two 4-sided dice and add their results.
+
+**Difficulty Class (DC)** is the target number for a check. **Armor Class (AC)** is the target DC for Strikes and spell attack rolls; other actions with the attack trait can target different DCs. **Hit Points (HP)** track how much harm a creature can take. Use [[Degrees of Success|main:degrees_of_success]] to interpret a check, then [[Encounter Mode|main:encounter_mode]] for the order of turns and actions.
