Epic Roll

🔥 For those who embrace the extremes of fate.

Mechanic:

• When rolling an attack, ability check, or saving throw, roll two d20s.
• Choose the result furthest from 10 (favoring the higher number in a tie).

Effect:

• Increases the chance of critical successes and catastrophic failures.
• Ideal for high-risk, high-reward characters who thrive on chaos.
• Drastically reduces middle-of-the-road rolls—you either soar or crash.

Average Roll:

• Rolls tend to cluster around two peaks: 1-5 and 15-20, avoiding middle values.
• Split averages:
  • Lower half (1-10): Expected average ~4.5
  • Upper half (11-20): Expected average ~16.5

Example:

• You roll a 5 and a 15 → You take the 5 (furthest from 10).
• You roll a 3 and a 17 → You take the 17 (furthest from 10).
• You roll a 10 and a 14 → You take the 14 (higher of the tie).

⚡ Best for: Wild warriors, reckless gamblers, chosen heroes, and those who defy fate itself.
