BRP uses two types of difficulty modifiers, one called difficulty modifiers and the other just modifiers. Here are their abbreviated glossary definitions:
Difficulty Modifiers - The amount a skill’s chance is adjusted by, based on the circumstances surrounding its use. (Followed by fractional adjustments.)
Modifiers - These are temporary additions or subtractions to your character’s rating in a skill, usually stemming from circumstances, environment, or equipment. (Followed by examples like +20% for good equipment.)
Now, since both types of modifiers are based on circumstances, how do I know which kind to apply in a given situation? The skill examples are all over the place.

Hi all,
I just purchased the BRP pdf and have a question.
BRP uses two types of difficulty modifiers, one called difficulty modifiers and the other just modifiers. Here are their abbreviated glossary definitions:
Difficulty Modifiers - The amount a skill’s chance is adjusted by, based on the circumstances surrounding its use. (Followed by fractional adjustments.)
Modifiers - These are temporary additions or subtractions to your character’s rating in a skill, usually stemming from circumstances, environment, or equipment. (Followed by examples like +20% for good equipment.)
Now, since both types of modifiers are based on circumstances, how do I know which kind to apply in a given situation? The skill examples are all over the place.
Thanks!
