The basic rules form the pillar of the game, guiding the interactions and actions of your characters, both outside and at the heart of combat. It is essential to note that characters can also undertake roleplay actions during combat, such as attempting to convince an opponent to surrender.
In Worlds Awakening, dice are the key instrument for determining the outcomes of actions. The types of dice used include:
- The 4-sided die (d4);
- The 6-sided die (d6);
- The 8-sided die (d8);
- The 10-sided die (d10);
- The 12-sided die (d12);
- And the 20-sided die (d20).
Each type of die offers a specific range of probabilities, thus affecting the difficulty and chances of success for the various actions undertaken by players. The 20-sided die (d20) is frequently used to determine whether an action is successful or not, while the other dice often determine the amounts of damage inflicted or received.
