Events are random scenarios that are presented to your group of survivors throughout the game.
An Event will usually pose the party with a problem that they can address in a variety of ways. Succeeding at these events can reward your survivors with bonuses like an increase in Stats or extra supplies, while failing can instead penalize them by lowering Morale or taking away supplies.
Events can have multiple options for tackling them and usually will test a specific stat in order to get a good outcome, it's up to the Player to select the option that is most likely to avoid a negative consequence. It is possible for characters to succeed stat checks with any stat value, but the lower the level of the tested stat the less likely the test is to succeed. Sometime this can be the difference between barely passing the test and passing it well which can award more.
How this works is that each challenge has a hidden skill check value. If the survivor attempting the challenge has the required level in that skill, the chance of success will be 50%. One level below the required is 33%, while one higher means 60%, 66%, etc.
Sometimes certain events will require the character to fulfill two stat requirements in order to unlock the option. These are known as Stat Combos.
