Player Rolls

Only players make rolls. The target number depends on the type of roll being made.

Rating Rolls

  • All rolls are made using d6
  • The possible outcomes for the roll are Major Success, Minor Success, Major Setback, Minor Setback, Complete Success, and Complete Failure, depending on the Rating Tiers, below
  • The details for what these outcomes mean are found in the player action that causes the roll
  • Difficulty for non-opposed rolls is determined by the following rubric:
    • Trivial: 5, anyone can attempt this with at least Parity
    • Skilled: 10, a knack or some training would be required for Parity
    • Difficult: 15, only seasoned experts can attempt this with Parity
    • Impossible: 20, Parity for this is beyond mere mortals
  • Difficulty for opposed rolls are determined by the opponents relevant rating

Rating Tiers

To reduce the impact of small incremental differences and increase the impact of large incremental differences.

  • Parity: When a player is making a roll with rating within 5 of the relevant opposed rating, the roll is considered to have "Parity". This means that when the player rolls 1d6:
    • 1 is a Major Setback for the actor
    • 2-3 is a Minor Setback for the actor
    • 4-5 is a Minor Success for the actor
    • 6 is a Major Success for the actor
  • Superiority: When a player is making a roll with rating 5 or more above the relevant opposed rating, the roll is considered to have "Superiority". This means that when the player rolls 1d6:
    • 1 is a Minor Setback for the actor
    • 2-4 is a Minor Success for the actor
    • 5-6 is a Major Success for the actor
  • Supremacy: When a player is making a roll with rating 10 or more above the relevant opposed rating, the roll is considered to have "Supremacy". This means that when the player rolls 1d6:
    • 1 is a Minor Success for the actor
    • 2-5 is a Major Success for the actor
    • 6 is a Complete Victory for the actor
  • Inferiority: The opposite of "Superiority", when a player is making a roll with rating 5 or less below the relevant opposed rating, the roll is considered to have "Inferiority". This means that when the player rolls 1d6:
    • 1-2 is a Major Setback for the actor
    • 3-5 is a Minor Setback for the actor
    • 6 is a Minor Success for the actor
  • Inadequacy: When a player is making a roll with rating 10 or less below the relevant opposed rating, the roll is considered to have "Inadequacy". This means that when the player rolls 1d6:
    • 1 is a Complete Failure for the actor
    • 2-5 is a Major Setback for the actor
    • 6 is a Minor Setback for the actor
