Successfull Dice Roll dependet on atributes or Bonuses?!?
Hi,
i just wonder if a successful Dice roll is dependent on my atributes or on the Bonuses resulting from the atributes.
if just the bonus is Helping me to do a successfull roll it would mean only even points are worthy to put.

hope someone can tell me how it is

Hi, in the right corner you can open a menu where you can see what actions happened. When you hover over the information, it tells you your dice roll and why/where bonuses get added.

The game works like this. Here is a stat break down for your char and what bonus you get when you roll a dice.

8-9 : Add -1 to your dice rolls
10-11: Add 0 to your dice rolls
12-13: Add 1 to your dice rolls
14-15: Add 2 to your dice rolls
16-17: Add 3 to your dice rolls.
18-19: Add 4 to your dice rolls.
20-21: Add 5 to your dice rolls.

SO for every 2 stat points over 10 you gain +1 to your roll.

It's not complicated. Some attacks/spells/checks use specific stat blocks to decide what bonus you use. Finese weapons use DEX, other weapons use STR. Perception checks are based on wisdom and so forth.

Really just look up the basic 5E DND rules it's not complicated.

thanks for the quick reply folks

maybe let me ask the question an other way.

are the bonuses the only thing that changes the dificulty of a dice roll?
or are my atributes somehow changing the number i have to beat with my dice as well

the number itself is going to be the same for everyone. It is the bonus added to what you roll that is affected.

guidance, thaumatorgy and friends cantrips, skill proficiencies, bard inspirations and ability scores all effect skill rolls

finesse weapons use STR or DEX, whichever is highest

so just that i can let it be as it is

1.the difficulty of an roll is determined by the dificulty of an action so to speak.
and its not being affectet by my stats at all (normaly)

2. its most efficient to lets say put 16 points rather than 17 points into charisma because i will get no more bonus till i level the atribute to 18
Dera Aug 6, 2023 @ 1:09pm 
that is correct, unless you are keeping it at an odd number for when you level up in order to make it an even number later in the game.
