❌ Bad example: "Go"
✅ Good example: "Carefully proceed into the deep forest"

✅ Good example: "Examine the door handle and check for traps"

Understanding Dice Rolls

When a check is needed, the AI GM shows what is tested and the target, and you press the dice button to roll:

Strength check  d20 → 15 +3 = 18  (target 15)
Check: Success!

The modifier of the ability score the check uses (such as +3) is added to your roll.

Higher numbers increase success chances!
