How rolls work in Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition
Hunter H5 uses d10 dice pools: roll Attribute + Skill, count successes on 6+, with criticals on paired 10s. Desperation dice add power when the cell is stretched thin, and risk overreach or despair.
At-the-table steps
- Build your pool (Attribute + Skill); add Desperation dice when you push beyond your limits.
- Roll d10s and count successes (6+).
- Interpret Desperation outcomes (overreach, despair) as escalating stakes for the hunt.
Example: A success driven by Desperation dice gets you there, but the danger to the cell escalates.
