3.0 Dice Codes

General Rule: The players will often be required to roll a number of dice. The number and type of dice rolled is determined by a Dice Code.

Cases:

3.1 A Dice Code is a number followed by the letter "D" followed by another number, which is sometimes modified by a third number (e.g., 1D6+1).

The first number determines the number of dice to be rolled; the number after "D" determines whether six-sided or three-sided dice are to be rolled (when rolling three-sided dice, roll six-sided dice and divide the resulting number by two, round fractions up, to determine the number rolled between 1 and 3). The third number is added to or multiplied by the number rolled. Examples: 1D6×4 means roll a six-sided die and multiply that number by 4; 1D3+1 means roll a six-sided die, divide the number by two (rounding up) to yield a number between 1 and 3, and add 1 to the final number.

3.2 On monster counters, the Dice Code is abbreviated.

The first number is the number of D6's rolled, followed by any additions. Example: 1+1 represents 1D6+1.
