The Archive Dice System is built for gritty, story driven survival roleplay.
Abilities and Skills
Abilities represent your fundamental strengths as a survivor. Each Ability governs a set of Skills. Skills are specialized and are always rolled with their parent Ability.
When you attempt an action using a Skill, roll the following:
d20 + its associated Ability + the Skill level
For example, if you have a +2 Morale and +2 Presence (its parent ability), you'd roll:
d20 + 2 (Morale) + 2 (Presence)
Compare the total to a Difficulty Class, or DC, set by the narrator or the rules.
Difficulty Class and Outcomes
Difficulty Class (DC) is the number that you compare your roll against. They are set by the rules, or the narrator.
After rolling, compare your total to the DC.
| Over 5 Below DC: | Strong Failure |
| 5 or Less Below DC | Failure |
| Meets DC | Success |
| 5 or More Above DC | Success |
| Over 5 Above DC | Strong Success |
