I was reading over the PDF last night and came across this in the rules for Advantage/disadvantage:
• If you have disadvantage, keep the best result.
• If you have advantage, keep the worst result.
Shouldn't that be the opposite? Or perhaps it means "best" as equivalent to highest since it's a roll-under system? But if that is the case, it wouldn't work for advantage/disadvantage on damage rolls (where higher is better).
I would think that if you have Advantage, you'd keep the "best" result for you, which would be the lower roll for a Stat test or the higher roll for a damage roll. You'd keep the "worst" roll with disadvantage (higher for Stat rolls, lower for damage).
Thoughts?
I just check in my MM book, you're right. I think it's a mistake and Eric Nieudan will change this quickly.
ReplyDeleteI think that you are right! And that I should have seen it before, or noticed when several people asked for clarifications. Or not made the mistake in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI'll update the manuscript. Thanks for the feedback!
No problem! While you are here Eric Nieudan , I also wanted to ask you about the design decision to make the step-down roll for risk dice 1-3 rather than the 1-2 for usage dice in Black Hack. What was your thinking behind that?
ReplyDeleteI'm no math expert (or even a beginner :) but when I looked at the stats it seemed to make for better attrition.
