In the Cosmere RPG, when a character attempts something risky or dramatic, the GM can tell them to "raise the stakes." The player then adds the plot die to their d20 roll.
GMs, how often do you plan to include the Plot Die for rolls in your campaign? Poll below:
ALT A large image of a plot die showing three faces: a simplified Cosmere symbol (Opportunity), a set of shards around the number four (a Complication), and a blank. Each symbol is explained in more detail: OPPORTUNITY Whether your succeed or fail, experience a positive side effect. BLANK The skill test proceeds as planned, with no plot twist. COMPLICATION Add 2 or 4 to your test (as specified by the number shown), but suffer a negative side effect.
