Dice rolls: Difference between revisions

The game determines the success of various actions by rolling dice for you and for other creatures in the game.  The result of a dice roll is often modified by bonuses and penalties.  Characters that are very skilled, use powerful items to enhance their abilities, or are under the effects of ability-enhancing effects (such as from spells or potions) will tend to roll higher numbers.  Characters that are unskilled, don't have access to good equipment, or are under the effect of negative conditions, will instead tend to roll lower numbers.

Beyond the general principles explained above, the details of a dice roll depend on the type of roll that is being made.  Following are the types of dice rolls in the game.

Dice rolls can be affected by various bonuses and penalties.  These can take the form of adding or subtracting a value from the result, or requiring two rolls instead of one and taking the lower or higher of the two values.

A creature's [[Ability Score]]s can modify the result of dice rolls depending on how high or low the score is.  (It can be negative if the score is very low.)
