Mage: The Ascension M20 dice rules
Roll Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition dice online for free. Our Mage M20 dice roller handles d10 dice pools against a target number (difficulty) per die, tracks 1s that cancel successes, and flags botches. Perfect for mages who need accurate dice rolls for Arete and Ability rolls.
Quick rules summary
Roll your dice pool (often Attribute + Ability, or Arete for magick) and count every die that meets or beats the difficulty, 6 by default, as a success. Any 1s rolled cancel successes one for one; if you end up with zero net successes and at least one 1, the roll botches. A relevant specialty adds a bonus success on a natural 10.
