How rolls work in Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition

VTM V5 uses d10 dice pools: roll Attribute + Skill, count successes on 6+, and watch for criticals on 10s. Hunger dice add personal-horror volatility (messy criticals and bestial failures).

At-the-table steps
  • Build your pool (Attribute + Skill).
  • Roll d10s and count successes (6+).
  • Interpret 10s (critical) and Hunger outcomes (messy critical/bestial failure) as story-forward complications.
Example: If Hunger dice contribute to a critical, the success is messy: you win, but the Beast shows.
