SkillProcedure

Initiator-side generic skill test. Optionally targets a specialization and associated dice pool, and can export an opposed prompt handled by SkillResponseProcedure.

Role in the system​

  • Non-weapon, actor-driven skill checks (Active/Knowledge/Language).
  • Can export a simple “respond to my skill test” contest.
  • Applies specialization cap (half base skill) as a pool cap when relevant.

Behavior​

  • Construction hydrates from the actor’s Item skill by id and optional specIndex.
  • Sets title to the skill name; dice to spec value or base value.
  • If specialization used without explicit spec rating, inserts spec-cap modifier with poolCap = floor(value / 2).

API reference​

  • Construction: ProcedureFactory.Create("skill", { actor, args: { skillId, specIndex?, title? } }).
  • shouldSelfPublish(): true.
  • getFlavor() / getChatDescription(): label includes specialization when present.
  • async execute({ OnClose?, CommitEffects? }):
    • Attaches options.type = "skill", options.skill = { id, name }, options.specialization?, and options.pools?.
  • exportForContest(): { familyKey: "skill", skillId, skillName, specName, poolKey, next: { kind: "skill-response", ui, args } }.
  • Serialization extras: toJSONExtra() / fromJSONExtra() capture skill/spec/pool identifiers and names.
