Heroic Dice Tricks represent the favor of the gods, fate, chance, or whatever other powers smile upon the player characters. Heroic Dice Tricks enable the characters to achieve success beyond their normal means. Ability Dice When attempting a task, the character may roll a number of dice equal to his ability rating (minimum of two dice). Any extra dice are treated as bonus dice—-the character uses the two lowest numbers to determine if the task succeeds or fails. Lucky Dice Whenever two or more dice are rolled and ALL of the dice come up the same number, the character may roll one (1) bonus die for the current task. This bonus die is granted regardless of whether the roll initially succeeded or failed. Hero Dice Before attempting a task, the player chooses a different colored die to designate as the hero die. This is not an extra die, it is just a different color. Whenever a one (1) is rolled on the hero die, the character receives one (1) bonus die for the current task. Note: Major NPC villains have Villainous Dice Tricks that work the same way.
