1. Rolling the Dice

There is only one die type used in Troika!, that being the d6. This can be used as a d3, d6, d66, d666, and so on. To roll a d3 just roll a d6 and halve it, rounding up. To roll a d66, d666, or more just roll a d6 as many times, in order, as there are 6s. So a d66 would be a d6 followed by another d6 (e.g. I roll a 1 then roll a 4 thus making a roll of 14). To do most actions you’ll be required to roll 2d6, adding them together, as a Roll Under or a Roll Versus.

1.1 Roll Under

Rolling Under is the throwing of 2d6 with the intention of scoring equal to or under a number. This will mainly be used in unopposed situations like climbing a wall or casting a Spell. Rolling two 6s always results in failure.

1.2 Roll Versus

Roll Versus, mostly used for combat or other contests, occurs when two opponents each roll 2d6 and add any applicable bonuses, then compare results, the higher total winning. In a duel you might be rolling 2d6 and adding your Sword Fighting total, looking to beat your opponent who is doing similar.
