GEN:Dice

Genesys doesn't use the standard set of Dice, instead using a set of dice with symbols instead of numbers.

These are the Positive Dice

Boost Die j : Represents Small things outside of your control that improve your chances of Success

Ability Die k : Represents your Characters attributes.

Ability Die l : Represents your Characters Skills

and the Positive Symbols

Advantage a : Can be spent in combat to trigger certain effects, and in narrative is something small that helps

Success s : Having any of these left shows you succeeded at what you wanted to-do.

Triumph t : Acts as a Success and can be spent to trigger any advantage effect and in narrative play can help in a major way

Then there are the Bad Dice

Setback Die j : Represents Small things outside of your control that improve your chances of Success

Difficulty Die k : Represents your Characters attributes.

Challenge Die l : Represents your Characters Skills

and the Negative Symbols

Threat h : Can be spent in combat to trigger negative effects, and in narrative is something that hinders you

Failure f : Having any of these left shows you failed at what you wanted to-do.

Despair d : Acts as a Failure and can be spent to trigger any threat effect and in narrative play can hinder in a major way

The Symbols determine the results of whatever you are trying to achieve. With Success and Failure being obvious, and Advantage, Triumph, Threat, Despair being a bit less obvious. Advantage and Threats Generally are things that stress you out or caused you to mess up without failing. So someone lock picking a door might have some threat left over and could jam the lock, or damage their picks, or maybe it just takes longer. Or they could have some Advantage left over and it takes very little time to open the lock, or maybe they notice something about the locks that gives them a bit of extra information. Triumph and Despair are similar to advantage and threat but they have One major thing about them. They cannot be cancelled out, once you roll a t or d then you are stuck with whatever comes after. There is no removing them from play.
