Yeah that makes sense I was thinking of the long term problem clock in the Alter Ego ability, so just it would still get the default progress dice roll with each use until it is complete if I'm understanding correctly
GREAT question, yes you're exactly right. This would just be a normal progress roll to a long term problem, and it would be useful for the ability text for Alter Ego to call that out. I'll make a note to adjust that so it's more clear in the next edition!
