Rolling dice online in Cyberpunk RED
Use a system-accurate roller so results match the game’s mechanics. Use the links below to apply the workflow in Cyberpunk RED and keep it consistent across sessions.
Workflow (do this first)
- Pick the roller that matches the system, pool, percentile, exploding d6, 2d12 Hope/Fear, etc.
- Set difficulty / DV / target before pressing roll, not after.
- Apply modifiers inside the roll, not as re-rolls or after-the-fact tweaks.
- Save the roll to history so the table can audit crits and botches later.
Roll loop reminder (Cyberpunk RED)
Cyberpunk RED checks are Stat + Skill + 1d10 vs a Difficulty Value (DV). Your Role Ability defines your specialty, and cyberware adds power at a Humanity cost.
Example: REF 7 + Handgun 6 + 1d10 vs DV 15: you need 3+ on the d10 to hit.
Key facts
- 10 Roles: Netrunner, Solo, Tech, Medtech, Media, Exec, Lawman, Fixer, Nomad, Rockerboy
- d10 system: Roll Stat + Skill + 1d10 against Difficulty Value
- Improvement Points (IP): Used instead of XP for advancement
- Cyberware system: Enhance abilities but cost Humanity
- Role Abilities: Unique powers for each Role
- Combat system: Fast-paced action with armor, weapons, and cyberware
Common mistakes
- Mistake: Using a generic 1d20 roller for a pool or percentile system. Fix: Pick the system-specific roller, pools, hunger, sanity loss, and crits all key off it.
- Mistake: Re-rolling until you like the result. Fix: One roll per intent; if you want another attempt, change position, resources, or stakes first.
