When dice rolls are called for they will be in the following form `number of dice + 'd' + number of sides`. For example, if a rule calls for two four sided dice to be rolled at will say 2d4. Often there will also be a modifier added to the dice roll which is indicated with a '+' and the name of the modifier, like Agility or Brawling.
