Feel your anger, need oppinion

Hello,

Since the word "dice" in the text has no "s" does it mean:

-1 You count the number of blank on ONE dice (Check all 6 faces)

-2 You count the number of blank "rolled" on all dice on table.

I know most people plays #2, but grammatically it could really be #1

thanks in advance

Chakan

It's number two because dice is the plural of die.

Uhm, it's not #2. It's only blanks in your opponent's active pool, not on the whole table.

Actually nearly every English Dictionary printed after 1970 has Dice as both the singular and plural. Even in this game there are one or two cards that say dice for singular rather than die. As such I would never take this as meaning anything one way or the other.

Perhaps more so as you do not count the number of blanks on the table, but the number of blanks showing on your opponents dice. This may be 0 or more, silly you if you play it while your opponent has no dice showing blank, but it may be done. So you get a number and then you can remove that many dice from your opponents pool. Probably those that don't show blanks, but again who knows. I removed a Poe Dice while it was blank, so again you can and sometimes should remove those dice that are blank.

Finaly had official answer... kind of:

Some people here have french cards, found it and says: "Les dés" wich mean without doubt plural.

thanks for comment

In French, is there a form for one or many? Le/La Dés perhaps?

The important word here is "showing".

Look at that term's descripton in page 21 of the RRG

In french:

Singular: Un, Une, Le, La ... Dé

Plurar: Des, Les... Dés

So clearly its plural dice

There are? I have never noticed. Do you know which ones?

I just looked at Destiny cards 1-30 then stopped.

Opps 30 cards not 39

These are not the droids you are looking for...

I don't agree with any of those examples. If Veers said remove these dice, his action would only be possible if you ran the elite version.

No, no. The phrase "one of your" always uses a plural noun. For example, you would say "I am going to eat one of your fries," not "I am going to eat one of your fry." Not a single one of those cards uses "dice" as a singular noun.

Good catch. You're right.

Can one of you two change your avatar... it looks like Chewie is talking to himself. ^_^

I recommend an Ork.

Well, I would, if they'd give us some Destiny avatars. At least give us our signatures back! I already have my avatar if I could pick my own:

I'd go with the art from Boundless Ambition...easily my favorite.

Is there another way to word the card so that they remain consistent?

Why go to all the trouble to use the word die because it is singular and then have to rely on the context of it's use to understand that dice is meant as a singular.

I think they can word it like, RESOLVE ONE OF YOUR DICE. omg, as i typed that i scrolled up to reread the cards. It literally says that.....

It wouldn't make sense for me to say "remove one of my shoe". It wouldn't make sense to say "remove one of my die". In that context I think you would use the plural.

It's not like FFG invented the English language.

So you can remove a shoe?

You can't remove a die from the pool?
