| The collective [Die] rolled to determine the [Total] of a <wrap preview>[[:Game_Mechanics:Check]]</wrap>, <wrap preview>[[:Game_Mechanics:Attacks|Attack]]</wrap>, or <wrap preview>[[:Game_Mechanics:Save]]</wrap>.\\ | A [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool#Dice Pool|Dice Pool]] is the collective [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Dice|Die]] [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Result|Results]] and [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Static Modifier|Modifiers]] used to determine the outcome of a pending [[:Game Mechanics:Check]], [[:Game Mechanics:Attack]], [[:Game Mechanics:Save]] or [[:Game Mechanics:Test]]. This is done by comparing the [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Total]] of the [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool#Dice Pool|Dice Pool]] to a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:DC]] or relevant table.\\ |

| A [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool#Dice Pool]] consists of the following: | For how exactly a [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool#Dice Pool|Dice Pool]] is constructed and works see the following: |

| | [[:Game Mechanics:Bonus Die]] are any non-D20 or non-D100 [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Dice|Die]] that are added to the [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool]] of a pending [[:Game Mechanics:Check]], [[:Game Mechanics:Attack]], [[:Game Mechanics:Save]] or other outcome determined by chance where [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Appropriate]].\\ |
| Any relevant <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Bonus Die]]</wrap>. | \\ |
