How rolls work in Daggerheart
Daggerheart resolves rolls with Duality Dice: roll two d12s (one Hope die, one Fear die), add your trait modifier, and compare to a Difficulty. Which die rolls higher colors the outcome, succeeding with Hope builds your resources, while Fear feeds the GM's.
At-the-table steps
- Roll the two Duality Dice (Hope d12 + Fear d12) and add your trait.
- Compare the total to the Difficulty to find success or failure.
- Note which die is higher: with Hope you gain a Hope token; with Fear the GM gains Fear to spend against the party.
Example: Total 14 vs Difficulty 12 with the Hope die higher: you succeed with Hope and bank a Hope token.
