Basic rolls
These Free Basic Rules only have a fraction of the content found in the Core Rulebook and Storyteller's Toolkit. Upgrade for tons more exciting lore, rules, and player options!
Basic rolls are simple - whenever a character wants to accomplish something that is difficult and the outcome is uncertain, add one character attribute (Strength, Composure, etc) to one character skill3 (Drive, Larceny, etc.), roll that many dice and count all that come up 6 or more: this is the number of successes. If the number of successes equals or exceeds the Difficulty of the task (set by the Storyteller) the character succeeds.
3 Sometimes e.g. a Discipline rating is substituted for a skil, and on some occasions two attributes are rolled Example: Aileen wishes to distract the attendant so that the rest of the coterie can sneak into the morgue. Aileen’s player rolls six dice (three dice for Aileens Manipulation of 3, and three more for her Subterfuge of 3). The dice come up ‘6, 3, 5, 7, 7, 8’ giving Aileen a total of four successes. Given that the Storyteller earlier set the Difficulty at 3 (a common Difficulty for challenging situations), Aileen succeeds and the attendant is properly distracted.
