Roll Combat

One roll decides it.

Roll Combat publishes tabletop RPGs on a single core rules system: two twelve-sided dice, a Threshold to beat, and a choice about what failure costs.

Learn it once. Play it in every world.

Every Roll Combat game resolves a check the same way. Each game then adds its own Origins, Archetypes, gear and setting on top.

  1. Roll

    Roll 2d12 and add your Trait’s MOD. If you are Adept, you also add EXP and roll an extra die, keeping the best 2.

  2. Compare

    The GM sets a Threshold from 5 (Novice) to 30 (Expert). Meet it and you succeed.

  3. Spend Chance

    Miss it and you can spend Chance to turn the failure into a success. The worse the miss, the more it costs, and the GM adds a Complication.
