Dogslicer and "for this weapon"


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Hi, just a question on what dice qualify as being "for this weapon" when using the Dogslicer - "If any d6 rolled for this weapon is a 1..." (emphasis mine). In other words, which d6 can I upgrade the 1s to 3s on? Is it:
A) Just the 1d6 the weapon gives you and the extra 1d6 you may get from discarding the weapon.
B) As above plus the "strength or melee" die you roll, if it happens to be a d6 (e.g. as Ezren), since the weapon is the card telling you to roll that die so it is still "for the weapon".
C) Any d6 you roll on the combat check for any reason, since you're using the weapon for the combat check so any dice you roll for that check are by extension for the weapon. So you might for instance have dice added from blessings, a Toxic Cloud active and use the Fiery Weapon spell, rolling many, many d6.

My inner lawyer thinks (B) seems more correct since the card could have said "for this check" instead of "for this weapon". On the other hand I expect the intention was (C), which is how I've been playing it so far, on the principle that the game does not generally have any concept of which dice came from which effect and having to roll the dice separately would be a nuisance.


If ANY d6 rolled means ANY d6 rolled as would say Mike.

So anything that looks like a d6 once you have gathered your dice is fair game for the power.

Unless proven guilty by Hawk.


What Frencois said. So if you have any way to add a d6 to the check, like with Aid, even better.


Frencois has this exactly correct. See this comment from Vic for confirmation.

These days, we would word that "If any d6 rolled on this check is a 1..."


Thanks everyone!

And thanks for the link, I knew it would have been answered somewhere here before but I can now also see why my search didn't find it ;)
