[PnP] Ability check in P&P

[Alex Koponen]

I use Rule 5 and 5.1. The check involves rolling percentile dice equal 
to or under the (characteristic x multiplier). So if a character had a 
23 Con on an Easy problem/save I would need to roll (23 x 3) 69 or less 
to succeed. On an Very Difficult check I would need to roll (23/2) RD 11 
or less on percentile dice to succeed.
