These dice are called character dice, because they reflect things about your character that can help you succeed.
A d20 is known as a fortune die, and it transcends these benchmarks.

_Fortune die: a d20 always included. Can be 2 d20s with advantage or disadvantage._
_Character dice: Technically this means the drives, style, values, etc... But within a given roll there's no distinction between character dice and any other dice that can be added. These are d4, d6, d8, d10 or d12._
_Every roll has 1 d20. Rolls with advantage or disadvantage roll 2 d20s but only keep the result of 1 d20_

# Critical Successes
When you roll a 20 on the fortune die and your action succeeds, it is considered a critical success.

You also critically fumble if your action is successfully countered and you roll a 1-3 on the d20 (in other words if you fail to generate any impact at all).
Whenever you roll a critical fumble, you gain 1 inspiration point.

_Bot calls out a 1 as a critical fumble and automatically scratches the lowest non-1 die._
_TODO: Bot should mention that a 1-3 is also a critical fumble if action is countered._

# Success or Failure
To figure out whether your action succeeds, compare your action total to the opposing counter total.
If the counter total is higher, you fail; otherwise, your action succeeds.
**An unsuccessful action cannot inflict stress.**

_Bot doesn't really do anything with this. Doesn't differentiate action vs counter._

_Bot *does* add up the Action total and display that. Easy for users to compare rolls since action total is simple integer._

# Impact
Once you calculate your action total, determine your action’s Impact – the effect your action has on the scene.
Look at the dice you rolled in your pool. Each die that rolls a 4 or higher generates one point of impact.
This includes the dice you added for your action total, as well as the fortune die.
Character dice that roll 10 or higher generate two impact.

## Minimum Impact:
Your character is highly capable.
Even if their action is countered, they are still able to accomplish something positive with their action.
So long as you roll a 4 or higher on your fortune die you still generate a minimum impact of 1.
You may spend this on any result except causing stress.

_TODO: Maybe include note about minimum impact whenever fortune die is >=4?_

# Advantage and Disadvantage
Sometimes the rules grant you Advantage on a particular roll.
