How do I know if I rolled a 4+?
I get literally dozens of emails from people saying things like "When I roll dice and need a 4+ to hit, how do I know if scored a 4+?"
This is such a frequently asked question that I have no idea why this is not in an FAQ article.
Here is a guide to explain how you know if you rolled a 4+. It is worth noting that there isn't a '4+' side on the die. 4+ indicates a 4, 5, or 6 being rolled on the die.
Well first you need to roll the die. Follow these steps for that.
1) You need to pick up the die (cube shaped object with six sides on it). This assumes you have a die. An article will be forthcoming entitled 'How do I know if I have a die?'
2) Allow the die to fall out of your hand.
3) When the die stops moving, is the die level? If not, then revert to step 1
4) If the die is level, proceed to step 5.
Now that you've completed the roll, now you need to examine the facing.
5) Does the die have colored pips on each corner of the facing? If not, then stop here, it is not a 4+.
6) Count the pips. Do the number of pips equal or exceed four? If not, then you lied about step 5.
7) Does your opponent recognize that you've rolled a 4+? If so, then it is a 4+.
8) If not, then argue vehemently with them, citing words out of the rule-book without context, until they either concede or agree to roll a D6 over it.
Note: If you're using a die with numbers written instead of pips, then throw out those dice and purchase ones with pips because they roll more true to freedom and America!! Also if you see someone using a die with symbols on them, call the police because those people should just be arrested on the spot.
This is such a frequently asked question that I have no idea why this is not in an FAQ article.
