It is often the [[Ability_Scores\|Ability Scores]] modifier or a Misc bonus to a Skill.
	*<u>Target Number</u>: In combat, the Target Number is usually the enemies '''AC''' or Armor Class. In order for the Character to hit the enemy the Player must roll an accuracy check against that enemy's AC. It can also be a '''DC''' or Difficulty Check. An example would character is trying to disarm a bomb. The bomb has a "DC" or Difficulty of 20. The Player's Target Number that they must beat when doing the roll is 20.		*<u>Target Number</u>: In combat, the Target Number is usually the enemies '''AC''' or Armor Class.

An example would character is trying to disarm a bomb. The bomb has a "DC 20" or Difficulty of 20. The Player's Target Number that they must beat when doing the roll is 20.

	The Modifiers and Target Number are determined by the type of task. If the resulting roll meets or exceeds the Target Number, the test is successful. Any other result is failure. A "natural" anything is when you roll a d20, in which case you get that number, as opposed to unnatural, meaning that the number was only reached after adding modifiers to it. So a "natural 20" would mean you rolled a d20 and got the number 20 before you added your modifiers. A 'Nat 20' (or Natural 20) in combat usually means a critical hit while a 'Nat 1' means a critical failure. However, critical success and failure only happens while in combat.

So for example 1d2 all the way to 1d12. The tables to the right show the different die levels in the game.

	There are two different Die Levels. Both start out at d2 but they ~~become different after certain levels~~. ~~Skill~~ and Advantage Die are the same however Advantage Die level is determined by Character Path and the Die Level doesn't increase at every Character Level up. Sometimes there may be an effect that "increases the die level by one".		There are two different Die Levels. Both start out at d2 but they progress differently from there. Weapons and Advantage Die are the same however Advantage Die level is determined by Character Path and the Die Level doesn't increase at every Character Level up. Skill dies increase as the Character levels up and the Player can choose nearly earned skill points into different skills. To learn more about skills visit the [[SkillsBasics\|Skill Basics]] page. Sometimes there may be an effect that "increases the die level by one" there are different rules for Advantage Die/Skill Die/Weapon Dies.
