Description

Critfall: Checks

Ability scores, skills and saves for Minecraft. Checks adds a character sheet: your scores comes from Critfall's d20 rolls, and your skills come into play everywhere, from haggling with villagers to leaping across ravines.

Make a character

  • Pick a species, background and class preset, each with its own traits, skills and starting kit.
  • Set your scores with the standard array, point buy, 4d6 drop lowest, or hardcore 3d6 in order.
  • Your size, health and Armor Class follow your character: Constitution adds health, Dexterity and armor set your AC, and a halfling is as small as you would think and so is a goliath as big as you would think!

Grow

  • Levels 1–20. Earn character XP from advancements, raise your proficiency bonus, and pick ability score improvements.
  • Character sheet (K): abilities, saves, passive scores and every skill at a glance.

Talk (G)

  • Persuade or Deceive villagers and traders for better prices.
  • Intimidate them into handing something over, or pickpocket them.
  • Calm animals, scare off hostile mobs, read people with Insight, or play for a crowd.
  • Villagers remember. Get caught and the village talks, witnesses run, and the iron golems come looking.

Explore

  • Athletics: leap gaps, climb faster, tear through cobwebs.
  • Acrobatics: soften hard landings.
  • Stealth and Perception: sneak up on mobs, spot tripwires before you trip them.
  • Sleight of Hand: disarm traps.
  • Investigation: search looted chests for anything missed.
  • Nature, Arcana, Religion and History: learn about mobs and structures the first time you meet them.
  • Animal Handling, Survival and Medicine: tame faster, get hungry slower, and shake off poison sooner.

Every feature can be turned off in the config.

For pack makers

Species, backgrounds, classes and check triggers are datapack-driven, with KubeJS support and an API for other mods. See the docs on GitHub.
