Yesterday i bought this wonderful game and im a little uncertain about the following:

I have the dreamlands open. It has a +1 modifier.

I try to close the gate with a fight or lore power of 4. I know i have to roll 5 dices then.

Do i need 3 dices of 5 or higher to close ? Cant find it anywahere in the manual.

Thanks in advance.

You need only one of the five dice to come up with a 5 or a 6.

Great ! Thanks.

more generally spoken:

if you have to perform a check (of any kind) you roll the number of dice equal to the skill that you have to use +/- any applied modifiers.

every 5 or higher counts as success (if blessed 4 or higher, if cursed 6 or higher).

if nothing else is mentioned, then you only need ONE success to pass the check. in other cases, the number of needed success to pass that check will be explicitly named... for example:

your lore skill equals 5 and the text sais: "do a lore (+1) [3] check."

now you roll 6 dice. to pass the check you will need at least 3 successes.

To pass any skill check, only one success is needed.

The exceptions may be a little subtle:

If a check says "Luck -2 [2]", The [ 2] part means "need 2 successes to pass."
Monster toughness represents the number of successes needed on one combat check.
And, of course, combat checks against ancient ones aren't "passed": they represent cumulative damage.

Thanks people, that really helped me.

I also watched some vids on youtube where alot is explained. Now i know where to get money for instance
