*The Yellow, Red, and Green dice are called the '''Power Dice''', and are usually used in conjunction with the Blue die to roll "an attack." Only the Yellow and Red power dice were included in the [[Base Game]]; the Green power dice were added in later expansions.

The table above assumes the attack is not a miss (excludes this as a possible result). The probabilities including the possibility of a miss is 0.83 multiplied by the values listed.

===Attribute Tests===

Attribute tests are made with 1 Gray die + 1 Black die. Your attribute must be equal to or greater than the number of {{Shield}} you roll.

The '''Lucky''' column assumes a hero will use [[Lucky Charm]] to reroll in case of failure. The '''Fortune''' column assumes an Overlord will use [[Dark Fortune]] or a hero will use [[Fortuna's Dice]] to reroll one of the dice in case of initial failure. The '''Wicked''' column assumes an Overlord will use [[Wicked Laughter]] if a hero initially passes their attribute test. The '''Wicked''' column also applies to [[Befuddle]], except that for the Attribute 0 row, the probability of success is exactly 0.

*The Blue die is called the Attack Die, and is used for every attack. Please note that not every damage-dealing ability is an attack. An attack always uses the Blue die.
*The Yellow and Red dice are called the Power Dice, and are usually used in conjunction with the Blue die to roll "an attack." A third power die, the Green dice, was later added in various expansions.
*The Brown, Gray, and Black dice are called the Defense Dice, and are usually used to defend against an attack, while the Gray and Black dice are used together for {{might}}, {{knowledge}}, {{willpower}}, and {{awareness}} tests.
