 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]] will be added to the roll to determine the final result. The exception to this is the [[#Damage Roll|Damage Roll]], which only adds a character's proficiency bonus if explicitly stated.

 The various types of dice used in rolls are referred to by the number of sides they have: D4, D6, D8, D10, 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.
