== Situational Bonuses ==

Situational Bonuses are additional modifiers that might apply to a character when the circumstances they are in make certain tasks easier or harder. Typical situational bonuses would range from +3 to - 3, though obviously the GM is free to do as they will. Certain traits and powers may be able to provide temporary situational bonuses as well, though in the case of traits such things should be handled judiciously. 

For example, an annoying cacophony in the next room over might impose a -1 penalty to persuasion checks, or a picket fence to duck behind might provide a +2 to prevent harm against ranged attacks. Many circumstantial modifiers can be used to boost attack rolls- having the high ground when shooting a bow, flanking an enemy with an ally to split their attention before a brawl roll or making a surprise attack from stealth in melee, and so on. 

All circumstantial modifiers are at the DM’s discretion; DMs may decide any or all of these examples should not be used, or forgo circumstantial modifiers entirely.
