Table: d4 Task Results

There are four possible results for any given task, and here they are in one helpful table.

This is the third table of the Table of Tetrahedral Rules, which is inspired by the Table of Tetrahedral Possibility.

This rule is part of the d4 System tetrahedron-centric role-playing game.

d4 Task Results

Roll 1d4

1. Extreme Failure
2. Failure
3. Success
4. Extreme Success

Almost anything can be resolved with the Task Results table. Simply roll a Neutral d4 and consult the table. If there are any factors that might affect the outcome, count the number of Good factors versus the number of Bad factors. Each factor represents a d4. If the Good outweigh the Bad, roll the Good d4s plus the Neutral d4 and pick the best result. If the Bad outweigh the Good, roll the Bad d4s plus the Neutral d4 and pick the worst result. These types of rolls are called "rolling with the Good" or "rolling with the Bad."

In competitive/combative tasks, both parties roll and the results are compared. Ties favor the status quo.

Sample Good Factors

• Relevant Career
• Relevant Above Average Characteristic
