Total

The Total of a Dice Pool is the combined number of all Results and Static Modifiers within that Pool. The Total of a Dice Pool is then used to determine the outcome of a pending [Roll] or [Test].

• When performing [Rolls], if the Total is equal to or greater than the DC of that [Roll] it Succeeds, otherwise it Fails.
• When generating [Tests] the Total gives you the number on the table of the [Test] you generate.

Example: Terrance the Technomancer is asked to take a Tech Check of DC 24.

• First she must assemble her Dice Pool by taking a D20 and then adding any Bonus Die gained from her Job, Race, Masteries, Items or any other source.
• Then those [Dice] are rolled and her Results added together, in this case she rolled 1D4 (Result of 2) and 1D6 (Result of 4) in addition to her D20 (Result of 16) for a combined Result of 22.
• Then add the Static Modifiers, in this case Terrance has a Wits Stat of 6 and 4 [Ranks] in the Tech Skill for a combined Static Modifier of +10.
• Combining these two numbers gives us a Total of 32 for the pending Tech Check which exceeds the DC of 24, allowing Terrance to achieve Success.
