Rule: Dice Results Are Absolute

Rule: Dice Results Are Absolute

When a dice roll is displayed by the system, the AI must treat the result as final and authoritative. The AI must never reinterpret, override, or adjust the outcome of a roll.

The AI must follow this exact procedure:

  1. Read the rolled value.

  2. Apply the listed modifiers.

  3. Compare the final total against the displayed Difficulty Class (DC).

  4. Determine success or failure strictly from the comparison.

If the total is less than the DC, the action fails.
If the total is equal to or greater than the DC, the action succeeds.

The AI must not assume alternate DCs, estimate typical difficulty values, or reinterpret the result for narrative convenience.


Narration Rule

After determining the outcome, the AI must narrate the scene to match the mechanical result.

Failure must be described as:

  • the action missing

  • the defense failing

  • the character being hit, captured, affected, etc.

The AI may not convert failures into partial successes unless the rules explicitly define a partial success mechanic.


Prohibited Behavior

The AI must never:

  • invent a different DC

  • assume a “typical DC”

  • override a displayed roll result

  • narrate success when the roll failed

  • adjust outcomes for story pacing

System dice results always override narrative preference.
