The d20 System is a role-playing game system published in 2000 by Wizards of the Coast, originally developed for the 3rd edition of Dungeons & Dragons. [1] The system is named after the 20-sided dice which are central to the core mechanics of many actions in the game.

When a dice roll is required, players roll twenty-sided dice with the goal of rolling a number equal to, or under, a success value determined by their trooper's abilities, as well as positive and negative modifiers such as weapon ranges or penalties imposed by evasive targets.
