11:05 PMThe end equation. There is nothing to do with an end roll..... It is simple math...
Only one (1) single roll withIN the equation which is supposedly random from 0 to 100.

Hiway-the explainer reg

09:35 AMThe total sum of all the calculations is commonly referred to as the "end roll", but apparently some people just strive to be difficult.

::whistles::

I don't really know how it came to be, but when you take the difference in strengths (CS/TD, AS/DS), add the CvA, plus the ROLL... You get an end calculation, plus whatever the d100 roll is. Somehow end roll has come out of that. ::shrugs::

I'm not saying it's "correct", per se, I'm just saying that's what it is.

10:20 AMEndroll came from when in the older dice game days, there were slight modifiers on rolls. A d20 with a +1 bonus to the roll, for example. You roll a 13, but because you have a bonus, your endroll is a 14.

Same thing in GS, but there's a lot of modifiers. Roll a d100, add AS and AvD, subtract DS, and you get your final, modified d100 roll. Your endroll. reg
