However this is a rule that carpenters should remember.
Returns on roof rakes.
The last pieces to go in were nailing blocks above the ledger for the back of the return and at the bottom edge of the soffit for attaching the rake 20.
An 8 12 pitch on a return is much too steep.
The final step is putting the roof on the eave and addressing what happens in the gable itself.
Before the roof sheathing goes on the open framing provides easy access for attaching the return blocking and the nailers for the rake soffit.

The eave roof and gable.
Remember the roof on the return is there just to shed a small amount of water.
More refined details will have the return on the gable end smaller than the eave overhang but there still needs to be a return.
Increasing the pitch by less than one degree has no noticeable impact.
