I will be running my first session of this on Monday and I was re-reading through the various families and I really don’t understand The Order of the Titan’s Doomsday Research. It reads
“When you issue a Kaiju Threat Alert gain 6 hold. When you act against the threat, spend 1 hold to roll with advantage.
If your character is directly confronting the threat, spend all remaining hold after rolling to set one of their dice to the hold spent.”
The first part makes sense and seems quite strong. However I really don’t understand the second part. Any suggestions as to how this should work?
Say you do nothing about the Threat until your character finally confronts it in a massive robot on monster showdown. You have 6 hold. You roll and get a 4 and a 1. You now spend all of your Hold — 6 — and set one die to match how much Hold you spent. Again, that is: 6. You turn your 1 to a 6, and suddenly your 4+1 is a 4+6.
Thanks that makes sense.
Yeah, we went back and forth many times on how to make that clear and concise. Sorry we didn’t get it 100% of the way there!
