Contested scores measure your ability to avoid, withstand or shrug off harmful or dangerous effects. These can be curses, afflictions, traps, damage, weather or conditions. You always add two ability score modifier bonuses to each contested score.

Scores are calculated when rolled like ability checks, but are always called for when affected by something, never when causing an effect. It is calculated as such:


Contest result = d20 roll + 1st ability score modifier + 2nd ability score modifier + other bonuses + penalties
