Player Facing Rolls, Are They Optional?

I am a huge fan of other Free League games like Dragonbane, Blade Runner, Alien and Coriolis and I am curious about Symbaroum. The setting actually sounds pretty cool... but there's one slight problem.

What I have read about the game includes player-facing rolls. I hate that in a system. As the DM/GM, I want to roll dice too, dammit. Now the way the system was described to me kind of made it sound like the Player Facing rolls are optional and the monsters/NPCs can roll dice if you want.

Could I get a more detailed run down of how it works? Is the Quickstart a good source?
