result-rolls

how to tell the result of something that might fair

RESULT ROLLs always use a D20. they represent a CHARACTER’s attempt at an ACTION that might fail.

result rolls are not necessary for all actions, like reading signs, opening doors, or speaking

RESULT ROLLs may have NAT RATINGS and / or BLUNDER RATINGS. these add mechanics of extra-ordinary success or failure.
