I've had my eye on this for a while and just picked it up on the 50% off sale. I'm confused about some of the rules. It states that the stats for Fight, Agility, Wits, and Resilience are listed as Dice Totals (the amount of d6), but the character backgrounds show them a d4, d6, d8 etc... Dice Totals only seems mentioned on page 4 and the rest of the rules seem to indicate that those stats aren't dice totals. Also, the rules of +/-X F/M/W/R says its an increase or decrease to Dice Totals, while in the backgrounds and other rules its either a Dice Value increase or a dice modifier (which I guess would be stat dice value plus a number instead of changing the dice rolled). Any clarity on this?
How very embarrassing for myself to have missed that line in editing! It shouldn't be there as that was a relic from the old dice rolling system. Dice Values (DV) are d4 through d12. You will not be rolling only d6 in this game!
You modify both DV and total through a lot of different effects. So, if I have a Fight DV of d6, with a +1 F DV modifier, and +2 F bonus, I would roll a d8 and add 2 to the total rolled when using Fight.
