 Attacking a creature, making a shove attempt, spotting a hidden secret, and picking a lock are all examples of die rolls, which are the main method used to determine character success or failure in BG3. The amount of damage a character deals in combat is also determined by rolling dice.
-In most circumstances, when a character makes a die roll, their [[Ability Score Modifier]] and [[Proficiency Bonus]] are added to the roll to determine the final result.  The most common exception to this is the [[#Damage Roll|Damage Roll]], which doesn't add a character's proficiency bonus unless explicitly stated.

 The various types of dice used in rolls are referred to by the number of sides they have: {{DieIcon|d4|Force}} D4, {{DieIcon|d6|Radiant}} D6, {{DieIcon|d8|Cold}} D8, {{DieIcon|d10|Poison}} D10, {{DieIcon|d12|Psychic}} D12, and {{D20}}.  Abbreviations are used to refer to the total number of dice used in a roll, such as 1d6 for rolling one D6 die, 2d4 for rolling two D4 dice, 8d6 for rolling eight D6 dice, and so on.
