Some abilities allow you to *mark dice* in our pools. These are special d6s that enhance specific outcomes. It is advised to give them special colors when assembling the dice pool.

| Modifier        | Effect Description                                                                                                                                    |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Powerful**    | Adds the face of the die to damage, or enables area effect / penetration on success.                                                                  |
| **Exploding**   | On a max roll (usually 6), roll an additional die and add it to the result.                                                                           |
| **Effectful**   | On a 5 or 6, triggers an additional effect (e.g., bleed, knockdown, slow).                                                                            |
| **Cooperative** | Grants a bonus or shared effect to an ally if the die is a success.                                                                                   |
| **Lucky**       | Allows one reroll if this die fails.                                                                                                                  |
| **Risky**       | Grants a stronger effect, but on failure (rolled 1) causes a backlash or leaves you exposed.                                                          |
| **Persistent**  | If the roll fails, the die "persists" and can be rerolled next turn without re-marking.                                                               |
| **Sapping**     | On success, reduces the target’s next roll by 1 die.                                                                                                  |
| **Binding**     | On success, creates a lingering effect (like a slow, grapple, or distraction).                                                                        |
| **Dual-use**    | If the roll succeeds, you may choose between two different outcomes.                                                                                  |
| **Charging**    | The die adds +1 to the die result each round it is delayed before rolling (requires buildup).                                                         |
| **Cascading**   | If multiple marked dice succeed, unlocks a stronger group effect. (enhances other effects)                                                            |
| **Straining**   | This die is negative for you. Depending on the outcome and the ability telling you to mark the die, it may cost you health, willpower, etc.           |
| **Corrupted**   | Corrupted dice do not have an effect per se, but some condition, curcumstance or abilities depend on your corruption dice. Usually it is bad for you. |
| **Locked**      | These dice cannot take up any other effect.                                                                                                           |

In general every die con only hold one mark (except "corrupted"). So if you want to have more marks, you need a higher dice pool.
