Behind the Scenes: Dice Rolls - Day 1

The Show-runner

So, I am using dice rolls to resolve certain actions. For Day 1, the actions are all training exercises. So, for the first time, I am presenting a “move” like a move from the Powered by the Apocalypse system.

Train (Skill Check)

The character will attempt to learn a new skill, tool proficiency, or similar thing. The modifier added to the roll will be determined by the stat connected to the skill:

• Critical Success – really master the skill. Gain 3d4 XP. Only Available when training for an expertise.
• Full Success – learn much about the skill. Gain 2d4 XP.
• Mixed Success – learn some about the skill. Gain 1d4 XP.
• Failure – fail to learn anything really about the skill. Gain nothing.

At the end of the check, if the character has 5 XP earned from training for that skill, gain proficiency. If the character has 10 XP earned from expertise training for that skill, gain expertise.

During Day 1, there were 3 free training sessions, plus a couple of extra training sessions. The rolls are described below:
