Hi all,

For some reason I have this nagging feeling that I read somewhere in the rules that a Gandalf rune on the Feat die only gives an "Ordinary" success. Can someone please put me straight? What I need confirming is that Tengwar runes still raise the degree of success if rolled together with a Gandalf rune. Is this correct? It seems logical but as I say, there is this nagging doubt.

Put the feeling to rest! A Gandalf rune just makes you pass the test automatically, the quality of the roll is still determined by your Success dice.

Thanks!

Not this is "as written" or just my interpretation of the rule. If a roll fails to score the TN but has a g-rune then I say it's an ordinary pass, even if there's a 6 (tengwar rune) on another die. If the roll succeeds, counting the G-rune as 10, then the tengwar runes are counted to raise the degree of success. That way, the best a g-rune can do is turn a failure to a success. Of course, it only counts for a TN greater than 16 - like when crossing Mirkwood.
