Couple of noobish questions.

By Wolfmanss, in WFRP Rules Questions

1. Does the double "xx" challenge dice cancel out two successes or one?

2. Can two tactics be active during for examble, combat?

3. If i get 2x doble boon dices. Does that mean i can perform the 2xboon effect on my card twice? or does it mean i can perform my the effect and then get 1 fatique back (the general boon rule).

Thanks alot up front.

I will with no doubt return.

1. 2

2. If you've got 2 available Tactic slots

3. You can only spend boons on a certain boon effect once per roll. But you can buy as many effects as you can afford. So, yeah, you can spend your extra boons on Fatigue recovery.

Thanks alot! really had a hard time with those one, and my gf is using my rulebook immensly :P

Combat Initiaive is calculated by Agil + dice, what sort of dice is used to calculate ur inititaive? cant find it on page 55, they just refeer to "dice".

Just use blue dice corresponding to you stat score. Swap out stance dice when appropriate.

And you can add black and white dice (and even purple ones) to represent other factors if you like.

Pretty much just make up your initiative pools in a similar way you would with any other Simple (0d) check.

But generally, whenever the rules talk about characteristic (stat) dice they mean blue ones.

Aaah. Think my simple mind is making the rules up to be more complicated than they are, thanks again, wish i could repay you somehow, this is really valuable stuff for me.

Point 2 above – let's say you have 2 tactics cards but only 1 tactic slot. I thought you could swap out a tactic by taking a manoeuvre? (So they are not active exactly simultaneously, but it doesn't take much to use one then the other.)

Yes, but I think you can only swap a talent that is currently not in exhausted state.

Yeah, you're right (Rulebook p20). Thanks for the reminder.

Yes exhausted Talents can't be swapped. But remember that unless the Talent says 'Exhaust to use' it's an always on talent and can be swapped out at just about any time. Also remember that if you have, for example 2 tactic talents and 1 tactic slot if your party sheet has a tactics slot you can slot your second talent to it and then everyone in the group can benefit from it.

OH and also it's worth noting that when in story mode Talents can be pretty much swapped out on the fly regardless if they are exhausted or not.
