Danger World
Die Rolling
Build a die pool out of d6s. Roll, locking and re-rolling up to twice.
A set triggers results if it is at least as wide as it is tall. Evaluate sets using the difficulty table. 1s are summed together and spent by the GM.
| set | narrative benefit | mechanical benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | minor accomplishment | |
| 3 | meaningful accomplishment | |
| 4 | significant accomplishment | |
| 5 | major accomplishment | |
| 6 | huge accomplishment |
Sets can always be used to provide a number of bonus dice equal to their height or to cancel a number of threat dice equal to their height.
Challenges, such as obstacles, monsters, traps, and skill attempts, all have a difficulty assigned to them.
1s are spent according to the following table.
| cost | benefit |
|---|---|
| 1 | place a threat die on this marker |
| 1 | remove a bonus die from this marker |
| 1 | increase the character's danger level by 1 |
| 2 | reduced hit against the PC |
| 2 | place a threat die on another marker |
| 2 | remove a bonus die from another marker |
| 4 | full hit against the PC |
| V | spawn a threat |
| V | escalate a threat |
