How rolls work in Freeform / Custom

This system uses a dice pool approach in RPG Stack’s guides: build a pool from your character traits, roll, count successes, and apply consequences.

At-the-table steps
  • Build your pool from the relevant traits.
  • Roll and count successes according to the system’s thresholds.
  • Apply consequences and record changes on the sheet.
Example: Treat every roll as a decision: success advances, failure changes the situation.
