Hi Card! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it.
-So for a braid your “smallest” die (the one with the fewest sides, like your d4 typically ) has to have a result higher than the results on your bigger dice (the ones with more sides, like your d12 for example). So a Braid-3 might be something like: d4=4, d6=1, d12=2. A braid-4 might be something like d6=5, d8=4, d10=1, d12=1. See? The big dice need to roll lower than the small dice.
-No, your temp HP don’t transfer. Only scars can start you with extra hp, I’m afraid.
-I’m not sure but I know some other folks on the discord have been… puzzled by it as well. Might be worth asking there.
