Werewolf W5 Roll resolution cheat sheet
A 1-page summary of how to resolve rolls. At-the-table reference for Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition.
Werewolf W5 uses Storyteller d10 dice pools. Roll Attribute + Skill, count 6+ as successes, with Rage dice adding supernatural volatility.
Core mechanic
- Pool
- Attribute + Skill (in d10s)
- Success
- 6+ on each die
- Critical
- Two 10s paired = critical success
- Difficulty
- Number of successes needed (typically 1-5)
Rage dice
- Replace regular dice equal to current Rage.
- Brutal outcome: two or more Rage dice show a 1 or 2, success counts only for violent action.
- Losing the Wolf happens at Rage 0, not from a specific dice result; a Rage check (1d10, 1-5 loses 1 Rage) is what brings Rage down.
Common mistakes
- Rage dice replace, not add.
- A single 10 is not a critical: you need a pair.
