How rolls work in Freeform / Custom

Resolution follows your table's chosen system: declare what your character attempts, make the roll your rules call for, and apply the outcome to the fiction and the sheet.

At-the-table steps
  • Declare intent and stakes.
  • Make the roll your system's core mechanic calls for.
  • Apply consequences and record changes on the sheet.
Example: Treat every roll as a decision: success advances, failure changes the situation.

Use tools, not memory
