Skill Check Bonuses

By Thrythlind, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

When an effect gives +1 to Skill Checks, does that include Combat, Horror, Evade and Spell checks

ie does the Korean Secretary with a Vietnamese name give a +1 to combat with her ability?

does Fine Clothing add to Horror checks while in Arkham, +1 to skill checks in Arkham

how about Voice of Ra?

the book says a modifier to skill checks is also added to special skill checks, but not the reverse

so, if you have an environment that adds +1 to Will checks, does that include Horror checks?

Yes and no. Minh would get (or grant) a +1 to Fight checks, which would carry over to Combat checks, since Combat checks are Fight checks. But she wouldn't get an additional +1 for Combat checks specifically. At least, that's how I understand it.

Horror checks are a type of Will check, so anything that adds to Will adds to Horror. Environments are included.

@ Dam & Julia, just think of it this way, if we somehow come across alien tech that allows us to merge bodies (or Janus), our combined post total will supersede his. Of course, the merging will fail when Dam and I kill each other. "Cause of death, internal rupture." Oh, I'll say!

Uh? Anyway, I will survive! Sounds fair to me ::laughter::

Anyway, it's interesting to notice that the player with most points (10020), Kligore , according to his profile, wrote only 1 message in his whole life on the forums. Having no friends, I'm quite curious about this... System broken?

I don't get how the point system works either, other than getting a point whenever I add a friend.

Anyway, I only have 242 posts in this forum. A pitiful number. llorando.gif
