World of Darkness System Specific Guide

This section is about the World of Darkness (WoD) system developed by White Wolf. It also includes information for the New World of Darkness (nWoD) system.

Dice Rolling

Success Rolls

One of the most common rolls in WoD and nWoD is rolling a pool of d10's and counting anything 8 or better as a 'success'. Rolling a 1 subtracts a success. Each 10 rolled allows an additional die to be added to the pool (explodes). These additional dies are rolled, with the results of these new die added to the total outcome.
This type of roll is represented in Roll20 as:
/roll {Xd10!}>8f1
Where 'X' is the number of dice in the pool.

Chance Rolls

If you have no skill or modifiers in a particular area, you can roll a single d10 and hope for the best. Explode on 10's apply to this roll as well.
/roll {1d10!}>8f1
