Hunter H5 Roll resolution cheat sheet
A 1-page summary of how to resolve rolls. At-the-table reference for Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition.
Hunter H5 uses Storyteller d10 dice pools. Roll Attribute + Skill, count 6+ as successes. Desperation dice add risk and reward.
Core mechanic
- Pool
- Attribute + Skill (in d10s)
- Success
- Each die showing 6+ = 1 success
- Critical
- Two 10s = critical (extra successes)
- Difficulty
- Number of successes needed (typically 1-5)
At-the-table steps
- Build your pool (Attribute + Skill); add Desperation dice if applicable.
- Roll all dice; count 6+ as successes.
- Compare successes to difficulty: meet or beat = success.
- Check for criticals (paired 10s) and Desperation outcomes.
Common mistakes
- Desperation dice add to the pool, they do not replace pool dice.
- A single 10 is not a critical: you need a pair of 10s.
