If something gives +1 to sneak checks, for example, does it also gives +1 to evade checks?

tnx ahead.

seriously? 6 views and no answer to such simple question? I used to know everything but I haven't played for a while and I'm a bit rusty. I'm in the middle of a game so if anyone can help...

Yes, because Evade checks are based on Sneak. Doesn't work the other way around (+1 to Evade checks does NOT give you +1 on Sneak rolls that are not Evade checks). Same as +1 Will giving you +1 on all Will-based checks, such as Horror checks.

Base skill / Special skill

Sneak / Evade
Fight / Combat
Will / Horror
Lore / Spell

The base skill is used for the corresponding special skill. Anything that affects the Base skill also affects the Special skill--the Sneak skill, as well as help you with various Sneak checks. However, the reverse is not true: a shotgun will not help you close a gate.

Just to confirm: I'm not talking about

+1 Sneak

I'm talking about

+1 Sneak check

Please confirm.

I don't know what you mean, but if you have any items or skills or allies... anything that gives +1 to a Sneak check, it will give +1 to an Evade check.

Yes, if it grants you a bonus to Sneak checks you get it for Evade checks as well (but not eh revers.

Fight -> Combat

Lore - > Spell

Will - > Horror
