I've always treated mundane equipment as having the equivalent of 3d6 of Unluck. Rolling one 1 means the device works poorly, two 1s means it's temporarily disabled, and three 1s means that it's broken and must be replaced.

They apply separately. If the character fails their Stealth roll (even with the bonus), the knights still have to make their Perception roll (at a penalty) to see them.

I typically wear a mask for most of an 8-hour shift at work (taking it off during breaks, if I'm alone in the break room). They're not the most uncomfortable piece of PPE that I wear, and I can breathe just fine. Wear a mask, get accustomed to it, and stop being a hazard to everyone.

Welcome Back, Carter

Block is used when you don't have a DEX advantage over your opponent. If the PCs have a higher DEX than the NPCs, Dodge is better because they already have one of the main benefits of Block (acting before their opponents).

In 2016 I definitely got emails to sign petitions to the Electoral College to vote for Hillary Clinton. I signed, but I suspected it wouldn't work. Of course, Hillary had already conceded by then. 
 
Hopefully Trump's tactics fail. Most experts think it will, but this melodrama will go on until the Electoral College votes, maybe even after that.
 
I for one am weary of it all.  I'm going to unsubscribe to this thread again. But I'm going to post this little ditty to make me feel a little better:
 
Donald has only got one ball
Rudy has two but very small
Bill Barr has something similar,
And poor Pompeo has no balls at all.

Throw in Doctor T and we've got a hit.

I'm the exact opposite. I could sign my name 5 times, and at least 2 wouldn't match. I keep joking that if my handwriting gets any worse I'll have to go to medical school.

They've done several similar builds, and they'd noted the resemblence to the protosaber.

Does this count as a sword?
 
 

I seems like magic skill is at best loosely connected to the ability to access magic.  Someone could be a fantastic spellcaster, with no RSR and no Magic Skill, while we could have a researcher who understands the theory but lacks any practical ability.  With that in mind, perhaps a skill roll to reflect a greater impediment to accessing the underlying magic is not the best simulation.
 
Not RAW, I believe, but what about imposing a requirement to make a roll for every spell without tying it to a characteristic?  Make the base roll 15-.  For most heroic games, that is as easy, or easier, to make as any characteristic roll.  Now apply the usual cost for penalizing a skill or char roll to reduce this roll by 1.
 
So if we have our novice wizard who will only make his skill roll half the time, and our master who does not require a roll at all, and they enter a powerful 11- magic nullification field, 11-. each can access the magic if they make the 11- roll, but the novice still has to make his normal RSR roll to sculpt the magic in the manner he desires, while the greater skill of the master means that, if he can access the magic at all, it will do his will.

Your description of, "high school girls casting love spells" gives the impression that magic is common, perhaps to the point where not using magic is noteworthy.

Would being a mechanic be a good analogy?
 
Some people repair cars for a living (wizards). Some people fix their own cars (dabblers). Most people just pump their own gas and change the brake light when it burns out (amulets and daily prayers).
