Sorcerers and wizards have a poor base attack bonus, so they use the third column. Clerics, druids, monks, and rogues have an average base attack bonus, so they use the second column. Barbarians, fighters, paladins, and rangers have a good base attack bonus, so they use the first Base Attack Bonus column. Whether a character uses the first (good) base attack bonus, the second (average) base attack bonus, or the third (poor) base attack bonus depends on the class. On an attack roll, a bonus is applied from the appropriate column on the table according to the class to which the character belongs. On a successful attack, you roll the dice indicated for the weapon you used to determine how much damage your attack deals. If the result equals or exceeds the opponent’s Armor Class (AC), the attack succeeds. When attacking an opponent, roll a d20 and add your character’s attack bonus. This can be triggered by a player action (trying to pick a lock) or passively rolled (detecting a secret door in a room). Skill checks are rolled against a Difficulty Class (DC) that needs to be overcome in order to successfully pass the skill check.
To make a skill check, roll a d20 and add your character’s skill modifier. From here, we can decide if we prefer to have a higher minimum damage or a higher maximum damage. On the other hand we have a weapon that deals 2d10 damage, so we can calculate that it deals from 2 to 20 damage. For example: if you have a weapon that deals 3d6 damage, we can calculate that it can deal between 3 and 18 damage (provided three one or three six). Understanding this mechanics is very important as it can help you choose from different possibilities. Then you will substrate 2 from the result. There is no + or - so you won't add or substrate any number from the result.ġd8+4 = You will roll 1 dice with 8 sides and add 4 to the result.Ģd6-2 = You will roll 2 dices with 6 sides and sum them up. So in this example you will roll 2 dices of 4 sides each, sum the result and then add 1.ġd6 = You roll 1 dice that has 6 sides. The 2 indicates the number of dices that are being rolled, the d4 indicates the number of sides the dice has and the +1 indicates the number that will be added to the number the dice rolls. For example if you are attacking with a weapon you can roll for 2d4+1. You can check the rolls inside the combat information panel.ĭice rolls are expressed in three different parts: the number of dices that are being rolled, the number of sides of the dice and the added or subtracted bonus. The in-game system rolls the dice for you and calculate the outcome. Dice rolls decide the outcome of every action in the game like damage, dodge chance, save throws, pick locking, trap detection, etc.
