I was looking at the spell called "Create Pit".
It states that it can be cast against a bane, if that bane's max difficulty is 12 or less.
My question is: Does this mean, after taking into account all card effects on the difficulty, I also have to factor in the min number I can get on my dice and add the difference onto the difficulty?
For instance, let's assume I am trying to use "Create Pit" on a bane with a combat difficulty 10. My character will be using his D6 strength attribute to make the check and no other cards are affecting the difficulty. Does this mean the max difficult would be 16? Because the highest difficulty would require me to roll a 6? Or am I over complicating the whole matter?

The Wrath Rulebooks says
When determining the lowest or highest difficulty to defeat or acquire a card, apply all powers from cards in play that affect the difficulty, but do not apply powers that happen before you act, while you act, or after you act.
You character's strength won't fit into it. Create Pit allows you to evade a monsters who's max difficulty is 12 or less. You'd never even get to the point where your strength die comes into play.
Does that help at all?

You're overthinking it.
When it says Max Difficulty, it is talking about the bane itself. But some monsters are Veteran which means adding in the Adventure Deck number (or a multiple of it) to the difficulty. Or some are lycanthropes which means adding more to the difficulty if Blessing of the Gods is on top of the Blessings Discard pile.
That's how you determine the Max Difficulty. It is the number stated on the bane and modified by any language on the card that normally increases the difficulty.
