When a character attempts something risky or uncertain, they make a Character Roll.
The Roll Procedure
- GM sets a Danger Class (DC)—the target number the player must reach or surpass.
- Determine Base Power: Start with your Base Power (Metre + Limit). Note: This should be pre-calculated on your character sheet.
- Build Your Pool: Add Class Abilities + Asset Tags + Spell Tags. This is the "Puzzle Phase": Decide what resources you are willing to risk (Assets) or spend (Stress) to hit the Target Number.
- Consult the Roll Curve: Find your Total Dice Power on the table to determine your dice.
- Roll: Roll against the DC.
The Roll Curve

- Below DC: Failure. The action doesn't achieve its goal, and complications may arise.
- DC to DC+2: Success with Consequences. You achieve your goal, but there's a cost or complication.
- DC+3 or higher: Clean Success. You achieve your goal without complication.
- DC+10 or higher: Critical Success. Clean success plus you gain one Arcana Asso.
