These doubles rolls are required for trophies Horned Rat and Agility at its best which require giving certain characters skills they are not normally allowed. An exception to this is rolling doubles (1+1, 2+2 and so on) which lets you choose a skill from any class with only mutations being restricted to few races and classes. There high rolls 10-12 let you pick a stat to increase while anything below it will allow a new skill or mutation to be chosen from the classes available to the player. 2d6 is also rolled when leveling up and getting to choose a new skill, stat increase or a mutation for the player. Injury roll is a special case where you take the number from both dice and combine them into a two digit number. An eight sided dice is also used for injury result roll, indicated by d6d8 which gives out results 11-18, 21-28, 31-38 and so on. The blocking dice is a six sided dice with five different results: attacker down, defender down, both down, defender stumbles and psuh (on two sides). This game uses mostly standard six sided dices (called d6 or 2d6 when two are rolled) and it's own special blocking dice.

You probably need more time for your turns than a more experienced player. Should you try multiplayer pay attention to the turn timer settings. (If I think I can afford not having that player defending.) I like to have at least one player far enough in the opponents half, that he can potentially score, if I somehow manage to get the ball in the very last turn. Pay attention to the turn number (and the score), so you know when it's time for risky plays. Moving is generally safe, picking up the ball is important enough to be worth the risk, unimportant blocks should be done at the end of the turn, throwing and catching are risky, because it's two rolls.
