Dice Roller request: Action Tales!
I would like to request an Action Tales! dice roller option. This is used by the Action Tales! family of the Freeform/Universal games like:
- Neon City Overdrive
- Hard City
- Dungeon Crawlers
- Star Scoundrels
- Tomorrow City
The dice roller itself uses 2 pools:
- Action dice
- Danger dice
both pools could be a max of 10 dice or so (probably will be a lot less in most cases)
How it works?
-------------
Roll both pools
Check for matching dice results between action and danger dices. Every danger dice can cancel a matching action dice
After all matching dices are removed the highest Action dice roll will be checked for the end result
6: Success
4-5: Partial Success
2-3: Failure
1 (or no action dice remained): botch
After the result is checked check if there is any more action dices show 6 (on top of the first one) each of these will give a boon
Count how many danger dices are showing 6, each adds +1 pressure
Example 1
---------
Action dice pool: 3 (5, 3, 2)
Danger dice pool: 2 (5, 2)
Both danger dice can cancel one action dice. The remaining action dice is 3 -> Failure
Example 2
---------
Action dice pool: 3 (5, 3, 3)
Danger dice pool: 2 (6, 4)
There is no matching danger dice. The highest action dice is 5 which is a partial success, but there is a remaining 6 in the danger dice pool -íy Partial Success (+1 Pressure)
Example 3
---------
Action dice pool: 3 (6, 4, 3)
Danger dice pool: 2 (6, 2)
The 6 on danger dice cancels the 6 on the action dice. The remaining highest action dice is 4 -> Partial success
(neither of the 6-s remained so there is no additional pressure)
Example 4
---------
Action dice pool: 3 (6, 6, 6)
Danger dice pool: 2 (6, 4)
The 6 on danger dice cancels one 6 on the action dice pool. The remaining highest action dice is 6 -> Success (1 boon)
There is one additional boon as on top of the first 6 used for the result there is a second 6 in the action dice results
