Dice rolling thread

Hello!

For the sake of clarity, I'll ask you to post your rolls here whenever you need to roll for something. There's an in-built dice roller in this site that allows you to roll.

Please, I don't wanto to see any reference to rolling IC. Try to describe the result. For example, Layla is looking through the library for a book she wants. Finding it is a DC 15 Perception check, and she has a +5.

How not to write it:

Layla rolls perception to find the book.

How to write it:

Layla goes around and takes a look at the shelves, looking for the book.

What you write should contain a link to the actual dice roll, something I want to see posted in this thread, and only here.

For FAQs on using the dice roller, look here.

I'm going to make an example:

17+5 = 22, the check is successful.

The IC thread should look like this:

ExampleLayla goes around and takes a look at the shelves, looking for the book.


With a link to the message with the dice roll in this thread. Any question?
Also, from time to time, would you trust me to make secret "behind the GM screen rolls" that aren't written here, and possibly not recorded?
