An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents use abilities to assemble a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s. Rather than adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the pool. This dice is then measured against a target difficulty. Rolling a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.
