How It Works
Select your dice pool size and Desperation dice count, then roll. Our Hunter H5 dice roller automatically handles Desperation dice, calculates successes, and flags Desperate Criticals. A 1 on a Desperation die always prompts the Overreach-or-Despair choice, win or lose.
Pro tips
Desperation dice are a resource, not a bonus: they trigger real complications. Only spend them when the scene calls for it, and remember that a 1 on one always forces the Overreach-or-Despair choice.
FAQ
How do Desperation dice work in Hunter 5e?
Desperation dice replace regular dice in your pool once your Desperation trigger kicks in. When a Desperation die is part of a critical pair (two 10s) on a successful roll, it triggers a Desperate Critical. When any Desperation die shows a 1, win or lose, you must choose: Overreach (keep the result, but Danger rises by 1) or Despair (lose access to Desperation dice until redeemed through your Drive).
What is a Desperate Critical?
A Desperate Critical occurs when you roll a critical (a pair of 10s) that includes a Desperation die, and the roll succeeds. Mechanically it is the same 4-successes critical pair as any other, Hunter just names the case that involves a Desperation die.
What happens when I roll a 1 on a Desperation die?
Unlike some other dice-pool games, this is not an automatic failure complication: it forces a choice, on a success OR a failure. Overreach keeps the roll’s result as-is but raises Danger by 1. Despair loses access to Desperation dice entirely until you redeem them through your Drive.
