Dice Rolls

Dice rolls in Crytures are done with multiple 10-sided dice, called the Dice Pool, which aims for a target number, called the Difficulty. Each die in the pool that rolls the difficulty or higher is registered as a Success, or a Hit.
Some rolls may require multiple successes to complete a task, while others may give bonuses for each success beyond the first. The number of successes needed is called the Complexity.
If you fail to achieve enough successes, you may suffer a setback of some kind, or you may need to spend extra time, stamina, or mana in order to try again.

Dice Pools

When making a roll, you will be instructed - either by the World Builder or the rules themselves - to add some combination of stats together. Typically, this will be a Talent + a Skill for human characters, or a Stat + a Class for Crytures. Add any dice modifiers to this number, and the result will be the number of d10s in the dice pool.

Modifiers

Roll Modifiers

A roll modifier is added to the results of each die within a dice pool. For example, let’s say you roll a dice pool of 6 with a +2 roll modifier, and roll 4, 7, 2, 6, 9, and 3. You then add +2 to each of those rolls, resulting in 6, 9, 4, 8, 11, and 5.

Dice Modifiers

A die modifier adds (or removes) dice from a pool. If you are making a roll with a dice pool of 6, but get a +3 die modifier, that means you’ll roll 9d10 as the total dice pool.
