Questions of the Day

Post by Angelalex242 » Sun Aug 23, 2015 9:03 pm

1: If you are weary, are bonus dice discounted if they roll 1 2 3? Or, because they're extra dice, do they ignore weary?
2: Is it possible to raise a common skill twice in one fellowship phase? (IE, going from Courtesy 1 to Courtesy 3 in one go, or riddle 0 to riddle 2)
3: If you have a lot of XP available, what combinations of Valor, Wisdom, and Weapon can you raise in one Fellowship phase? (Valor/Weapon? Wisdom/Weapon? Valor/Wisdom? All of the above?)

  1. Weary counts for bonus dice. Why wouldn't it?
  2. If you have enough advancement points, why not?
  3. Any, if you have enough experience points.

Rules-As-Written, you can't improve Valour and Wisdom in the same Fellowship Phase. Other than that, I think the above answers are kosher (assuming that you pay for each level of the Common/Weapon skill).

Just thinking about a combination of points 2 and 3 here Angelalex:

Revised rules - page 196 - specifies that you can only raise one of Valour OR Wisdom (That's Zedturtle's point already ) AND that it can only be by ONE level (so triggering only one further Reward or Virtue);
however you can raise Weapon skill by more than one rank if you have the XP.

I'd agree with the response to point 1. Weary = loss of 1,2,3 for all rolls

Yep, that's important to keep in mind, as it's the only "skill" that has limits to its raising, unlike weapons or common skills.
