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 targets 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.
