Dice Mechanics

Dice are rolled to resolve conflicts, determine the results of tests, and in a general to help determine the flow of the game and the interactions that a character can perform.

In this game, when a roll is performed, success is determined if ANY of the dice shows up as a six. This is very different from the majority of games out there where there is a fixed number that needs to be reached or, if they are attempting to roll, a six, they must make a certain number of successes to achieve their goal.

The probability of this is depicted in the chart below
