Dice and Tests

Dice used in VoidSiege

VoidSiege normally uses six-sided dice, written as D6. If a rule asks you to roll more than one die, the number before D6 tells you how many to roll. For example, 2D6 means roll two six-sided dice.

Rolling a D3

A D3 produces a result from 1 to 3. To roll one:

1. Roll a D6.
2. Divide the number by 2 and round up.

This means rolls of 1-2 give a result of 1, rolls of 3-4 give a result of 2, and rolls of 5-6 give a result of 3.

Rolling off

When players are told to roll off, each involved player rolls 1D6. The player with the highest roll wins.

If two or more players tie for the highest roll, only those tied players roll again. Continue until one player has the highest roll.

The difference between a roll and a result

A roll is the number originally shown on the die.

A result is the final value after applying all relevant modifiers.

If a rule refers to the natural number on the die, use the roll. If it refers to the final modified value, use the result.

Attribute tests

When a model or unit takes a test against an attribute:

1. Roll 1D6.
2. Apply any relevant modifiers.
3. Compare the result with the attribute being tested.

The test succeeds if the result is equal to or lower than the attribute. A natural roll of 6 always fails unless a rule specifically says otherwise.

Opposed rolls and comparisons

Some rules compare values or successful rolls from two units. Follow the instructions in the rule that calls for that comparison, because different systems may resolve opposed results differently.

Example

A model with Resolve 4 must take a Resolve test. The player rolls a 3, so the test succeeds because 3 is equal to or lower than 4. If the player had rolled a 5, the test would have failed. A natural roll of 6 would also fail, even if a modifier could otherwise reduce the final result. Later, the player rolls a D3 and gets a 5 on the D6; dividing by 2 and rounding up gives a D3 result of 3.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of dice does VoidSiege use?

VoidSiege normally uses six-sided dice, called D6.

How do I roll a D3?

Roll a D6, divide the roll by 2, and round up. Rolls of 1-2 count as 1, 3-4 count as 2, and 5-6 count as 3.

What happens when players tie during a roll-off?

Only the players tied for the highest roll roll again. Continue until one player has the highest roll.

What is the difference between a roll and a result?

The roll is the natural number shown on the die. The result is the value after modifiers have been applied.

Does a natural 6 always fail an attribute test?

Yes, unless a specific rule says otherwise.
