attack roll
Strike success check
In tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, an attack roll is a dice roll that determines whether an attack hits its target.
The player rolls a die (typically a twenty-sided die), adds relevant modifiers, and compares the result against the target's armor class or defense rating: I rolled a natural 20 on my attack roll—critical hit!
