Dirty Water confusion/question:

On page 10 under Dirty Water it states: There are 2 types of water: clean water and dirty water. Either can be spent as water.

After a survivor spends a dirty water , they must either spend 1 medicine or roll a die. On a roll of 1-3, the survivor suffers 1 (sickness) damage. If a survivor discards dirty water , they do not roll the die.

My question is: Isn't spending dirty water, the same as discarding dirty water? If so, then when would you ever roll the die? Is this a typo and the last sentence should read "If a survivor discards medicine , they do not roll the die"?

There are some night cards that cause you to discard water/meat/food before causing you to spend a water/food. If you discard a token, you do not gain the effect of the token. If you spend the token, you gain the effect and then you discard the token after use. Hopefully that clarifies it for you.

Spending and discarding are different. If you are thirsty and you drink the water, you spend it (and roll the die for dirty water). If you are careless and you spill your water, you discard it (without rolling the die).
