Alpha Release 3 General Discussion

In play-testing Alpha 3, our group had some confusion about the bit of luck Luck domain ability, specifically when the luck runs out and you can no longer roll two dice for one attack. The rule says:

The target must decide to use this ability before rolling the dice. This effect fades after 3 rounds or when the reroll is used.

I thought this could be interpreted two ways:

1. The luck runs out after the target decides to roll two dice for a single attack, regardless of what the result of either roll is.

2. The target can keep rolling two dice for each attack until he actually uses the second roll to resolve the attack (or thee rounds elapses).

Definitely #1, with a max time to decide of 3 rounds.


For the record, the debate in our game can be found about half way down this page.

#1 is the answer.
