Skill Rolls

All skill rolls are based on the skills available within Project Zomboid as well as any other modded skills that may be present. For more information on skills, see the Project Zomboid wiki page on Skills.

Almost every Mechanical Skill is tied to a roll, automatically giving modifiers to it. Modifiers given by Skills are equal to Skill Level/2. So a Level 6 Skill will give a modifier of +3 to the relative roll.

¹ Flamethrower Crit Rule: If a character holding a Flamethrower is hit by a Critical Hit, there's a 50% chance (1-2-3 on a d6 roll) that the fuel canister explodes. Dealing 2 Damage to the wielder.

² Flamethrower Cover Rules: Engaged Condition and a 50% body coverage behind a tile don't offer Cover from a Flamethrower attack. If a Flamethrower attack targets a character engaged with other characters, all of them will be hit by the attack and roll Ranged Defence. Only a coverage of at least 80% behind a Tile grants the Cover modifier from a Flamethrower Attack. (ex: Only a limb/head visible)
