Chapter 8: Playing the Game / Checks / Step 1: Roll D20

Attribute Modifier

Source Player Core pg. 400 2.0
Nearly all checks allow you to add an attribute modifier to the roll. Attribute modifiers represent your raw capability and are described on page 19. Exactly which attribute modifier you use is determined by what you're trying to accomplish. Usually, a sword swing applies your Strength modifier, whereas remembering the name of the earl's cousin uses your Intelligence modifier.
