====== It's time to roll some dice in Ironclaw! ======

  - **Host sets difficulty.** 
    * //Standard difficulty// is 3.
    * If this is an opposed roll, or if you’re suffering from a penalty, you won’t know the exact difficulty yet.
  - **Can anyone assist?** 
    * Assistants make rolls of their own, at standard difficulty. 
    * Each successful assist gives you a d8 bonus.
    * If an assist botches, the whole task is ruined; stop here!
  - **Assemble dice pool.** 
    * A Trait die
    * All the dice for one of your Skills
    * Bonuses from Gifts, assists, etc.
    * The Host will suggest a Trait+Skill pair, but you can negotiate if you feel something else better fits your character’s approach!
  - **Roll!**
    * Dorfl example: ''!1d12+2d8+1d4''
    * If the roll was opposed or had a randomized penalty, your opposition also rolls now. The highest number showing on those dice becomes your difficulty.
    * Did any of your dice come up 1? Do you have //favor//, such as a relevant Favorite Use of the Skill being rolled? Then you may re-roll one 1, now.
  - **Read your highest dice.**
    * Multiple dice exceeded the difficulty: //success with additional benefits!//
    * One die exceeded the difficulty: //success!//
    * No dice exceeded the difficulty, but one or more tied: can you claim some momentary advantage to tip the scales? If so, //success//. If not, the task produces a mixed, uncertain, or delayed result.
    * All dice fell under the difficulty: //failure.//
    * All dice came up 1: //botch!//
