The Dice tab

Use the Dice tab when:

• Your soldiers shoot, and you need to roll one die for each shot.
• You roll to see if a hit does damage, or if a soldier is saved.
• You take a test, like 2d6 that must be 9 or less to pass.
• You roll a big pile of dice and don't want to count them by hand.
• Your rules say to roll rift dice too. You can roll them in the same tap.

Doing it by hand works, but the app makes it easier:

• Counting 20 dice by hand is slow. The app counts the hits in a blink.
• Dice can't fall off the table or land tilted.
• Every roll is fair. The app uses your phone's secure random numbers.
• The last rolls are kept in History, so you can check a roll later.
• You can save a roll you use a lot as a preset, so you set it up only once.

Try it: your squad fires 6 shots and needs 4 or more to hit.

1. Open the Dice tab. Make sure Roller is picked at the top.
2. Find the d6 row. Tap +5 once. Now the pool has 6 dice. (Use + and − to add or take away one die.)
3. Under Success, turn on Count successes. Set Target per die to 4+ with the + and − buttons.
4. Tap the big ROLL button. The dice tumble and land.
5. Read the big number. “3 / 6 successes” means 3 dice hit.
6. Missed one you can reroll? Tap that die. Or tap Reroll fails to reroll every miss at once.
7. Want this roll again later? Tap Save preset and type a name, like “Rifles”.

The numbers on the pictures match the list under each picture. Gold boxes show where each thing is.

Fumble (✕)

With Natural 1 always fails on, a 1 always misses. It gets a red rim and an X.
