The result of a die roll or dice roll is often modified by bonuses and penalties. Characters that are very skilled, use powerful items to enhance their abilities, or are under the effects of various empowering conditions (such as from spells or potions) will tend to roll higher numbers. Characters that are unskilled, don't have access to good equipment, or are under the effect of negative conditions, will instead tend to roll lower numbers. | ||
Some rolls need to reach a certain value to be considered a success. This is called the Difficulty Class of the roll, and is usually done with a D20. Rolling a 1 on a D20 is referred to as a natural 1, and rolling 20 on a D20 is referred to as a natural 20. On some rolls, these can have special effects, such as automatically failing or succeeding the roll, ignoring Modifiers and Difficulty Class. | |||
