how many stabs w/ a poisened dagger?

By darthmax1, in Talisman Rules Questions

can you keep rerolling a one indefinately?

im hoping yes, but thinking not.

I would say just 1 additional die. The extra die isn't your attack roll anymore, just a bonus die (your attack roll was a 1).

It's a poisoned dagger, not a badass-nuclear-spreading-the-disease-ultimate-weapon-for-frequent-1-rollers.

It's marginally better than a sword, not a very hygenic weapon. I would definitly play this with just 1 additional role.

The right use of this would be:

You roll a 1, then you roll another die, lets say 4, your attack roll is now 5 + your strength. Thats how you use it, now less...no more gui%C3%B1o.gif

So I would say it`s far better than a sword (if you roll a 1 of course) gran_risa.gif

If you roll a 1 with the sword in 3th edition talisman, then it's broken gran_risa.gif

the reason i posted this was that the other night i rolled a ridiculous amount of ones with it. like 7 of them. we agreed that it was probably one extra roll, but wanted to check on it.

Our group rerolls it indefinitely. Even If not as intended, it’s only a +1 total per “extra 1”. The most we’d ever rolled, was 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, making it a 7 + current Strength. That’s a +4 “extra” to your roll for having the dagger, but only happens 1 time in 1,296.


Of course, it was against the farmer in the Tavern, but that’s how it goes…


“So, you scratched me with your poisoned dagger. I can barely feel it. I’m a tough farmer. I’m… URCK!!”

Oh, and before people freak at 7 1s giving +7 Extra to your roll, the odds of that happening are 1 in 279,936. If those are the odds, I’d WANT something OMG huge to happen when those 7 1s come up.
