Rerolls


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

Hey guys,

I thought there was a rule somewhere regarding multiple rerolls on the same effect but can't seem to find it. Any insights?

I'm making a character that will have multitude of abilities/feats/spells that grant rerolls and would like to know how many times I can make someone reroll the same die (Or have them opt to reroll a die). (Assuming no action economy problems.)

For example could I use a no action reroll from 2 different abilities and then an immediate action reroll from misfortune (Dual Cursed Oracle)?

Can you quote or link to the abilities you're inquiring about? Your question is rather vague.

Off the top of my head there may be some problems. Some abilities only allow you to reroll a natural 1. Some make you take the worse result, and some make you take the rerolled result.

Without knowing which ones you're talking about your question is hard to answer.

I suspect the OP plans to take some levels in Dual Cursed Oracle. Do tell.


Assuming the wording is along the lines of, "You may immediately reroll a skill check with the same bonuses as the first, taking the result of the second roll even if the roll is lower." and makes no mention of non-free actions I'd say they can be stacked. If you REALLY want a roll to go well blowing all your rerolls on one check could be useful if a bit sub-optimal.


There is no rule against it, but unless it were life or death I would not be wasting rerolls.


Depends on the reroll type. Misfortune is a luck based ability. Luck bonuses do not stack, so theoretically penalties also would not either meaning you could force at most one reroll for a given d20 roll from all the various misfortune abilities in game.

Rerolls are not bonuses. Bonuses are numerical, in the format of "+X".

Did you have a situation you wanted us to clarify?


It's a bonus to the number of rolls you get to make, so it is in the format of "+X" :P

Oh, whoops, sorry. Thought you were the OP for some reason.

Sorry about the delay, sort of forgot I posted this and was at a con all wekeend.

My newest character is a Dual Cursed Life Oracle of Pharasma.
So I have a large number of abilities granting re-rolls and was worried about interactions, and thought I read something that you could only use 1 reroll.

I was worried about the interaction of the Battle Cry feat from the ACG with an ability such as Fortune. Granting multiple rerolls on a single failed save for example.

The phrase " the ally must take the result of the reroll even if it is lower" doesn't preclude me from using another reroll does it?

I was also concerned about fateful channel, but upon rereading that isn't a reroll it is opt to roll twice, which spawns another question.

If I opt to roll twice on a save and fail, can I then use a reroll? If so, do I get to reroll BOTH d20's or just one of them?


I imagine this works the same as for critical multipliers; it functions off the base effect, so in the same way if you have something which doubles damage from an attack the total multiplier goes to x3 instead of x4 you would only get 3 rerolls instead of 4.

Specifically for your example you'd roll twice (for the fortune ability) and if you still wanted another reroll you could end the battle cry to gain a third roll (where you'd have to take the third result).
