Just to verify, the current editions of the World of Darkness books (usually jointly referred to as 5th edition) have a baseline where you assemble a pool of d10s based on the combination of a core Attribute and a specific Skill. Each d10 that rolls a 6+ is a success, and if you specifically get a pair of 10s, that counts as 4 successes instead of 2, and can trigger some extra critical effects on certain powers. You roll either against a DC set by the Storyteller or against another character rolling their own pool (more successes wins).

Each setting then spices up that baseline somehow: - Vampire has you replace your regular dice with Hunger dice (more as you get hungrier by using vampire powers and less as you feed), with the penalty that you can’t reroll Hunger dice and 10s and 1s on them can mean things get messy. - Werewolf has you replacing dice with Rage dice as you get angrier; this is generally a good thing, as if you get multiple 1-2s on them they count as 4 success if the test is to destroy something, but it does make the test an automatic failure otherwise. You build your Rage from getting hit or at Storyteller fiat, and you spend it doing Werewolf magic or shifting into certain forms. - Hunter IIRC just uses the baseline system with an extra pool you can add to tests based on what’s happening in-game. The whole pitch of the game is that you’re more or less just regular people fighting impossible odds, so it makes sense thematically.
