<span class="DROPCAP">U</span>pon arriving in Layonara for the first time, each Player Character will have in their inventory a <span class="ITALIC">PC Dicebag</span>. With it, players can roll a d4, a d6, a d8, a d10, a d12, and a d20, where "d" stands for <span class="ITALIC">die</span> and the numeral stands for the number of sides. I.E. a d6 is a six-sided die. Also, it allows players to roll multiples of each die type. Players can also use it to roll saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks, and it will automatically use the PC's modifiers. It does not, however, handle attack rolls. | <span class="DROPCAP">U</span>pon arriving in [[Layonara]] for the first time, each Player Character will have in their inventory a <span class="ITALIC">PC Dicebag</span>.

The dicebag is for RP purposes only and hence has its primary use during GM quests and events. Of course, it is certainly not limited to such use, and can be effectively used to handle numerous character initiated role-play instances. The use of the dicebag is highly encouraged and PC's should find it a handy tool. | The dicebag is for RP purposes only and hence has its primary use during GM quests and events.

There are other methods of rolling dice should you not desire to use the dicebag. Dice can be rolled by bracketing the check you want by asterisks. Typing "<span class="NOMARKUP">*</span>fortitude save<span class="NOMARKUP">*</span>" in whisper, talk or party chat will trigger a [[lore/fortitude|fortitude]] check. However, rolls can also be done through the [[lore/self-tell|self tell]] command. Typing "=c " will produce the desired result. I.E. "=c will save" will produce the same effect as if you had toggled the PC dicebag to roll a will save. For quicker typing, ability checks and saves are abbreviated as follows: | There are other methods of rolling dice should you not desire to use the dicebag.
