## Checks
+
Checks are situations that test a character’s ratings. [[Ratings|Regulus/Defining Characters#ratings-levels]] may come directly from a character sheet, or be something established in a [[Situation|Regulus/3R - Regulus Rules-lite Reference#Situations]] for a character. In either circumstance, the character will have a level rating, and we will use that for the check dice roll.

A Check is triggered by something in the fiction and is a passive ordeal. Here are some examples of Checks:

- Your character attempts to secure expensive tickets for an important gala to attend and meet a diplomat. This is a Wealth Check for the character.
+
- Your character is stopped at a secure checkpoint during a sweep for illegal software. This is a Security Check for the character.

**Luck**: For any test a player may opt to mark down Luck to succeed without rolling, or mark up Luck to fail without rolling.
