Dice
You'll need at least five six-sided
dice (5D6). More is always better.
The number before the "D6" tells
you how many dice to roll (for
example, 3D6 means roll three
six-sided dice). Certain effects
allow you to reroll a die. You can’t
reroll the same die multiple times
unless the game rules or special
effects allow it.

Accessori es

You'll need a copy of your

Character Sheet, a pencil, and/or
some wooden cubes to track Skill
Points and Enemy Alertness level.

Action Roll
Roll 5 six-sided dice (5d6). These
dice form your Action Dice Pool
for the turn. You may reroll any
number of Action Dice twice per
