A quick introduction to the dice mechanics I would like to use.

Your character has a punch, you roll 1d4 by following the link and do that amount of damage. That's it, nothing crazy.

Using the dice is not necessary, if you are more comfortable writing a dramatic exchange without them that's absolutely great. These devices only exist to help you have a good time by adding a layer of uncertainty to the fight. When I play, and I play as the world and as NPCs, I will use the dice and accept the consequences. 

Thank you
