No worries. Glad I could help!

Oh, and you take both the doubles together (3+3) and the other die? Or am I misunderstanding something again?

In that instance no, because the result would be lower. You’d normally only add identical dice if the result would be greater than adding the two highest dice.

For instance; if I’d rolled 5,4,4,4 then I would have added the identical trio, since the result would have been 12 instead of 9.

You have to pick if you’re taking the two highest or adding as many identical dice as you have available.

Then . . . I'm trying to understand how to calculate a nine out of it. Sorry for the confusion. I thought I'd figure it all out quickly, but I'm being clueless.

Ok after doing some deep dive research on Reddit as well as the book, it seems my understanding was also flawed. It seems you never add the two highest dice together at all. What I said about your roll when only having 2 dice is correct, BUT when you have 3 or more dice, you add up any identical dice and then select the highest result.

So for my roll of 5, 4, 3, 3. You add up the identical numbers for 5, 4, 6, and then take the highest number. So 6.

So we're tied? If yes, what's the proposal regarding how we handle that?

Yeah it seems that way. Although I have no clue what someone would do if their dice all came out at different numbers. I think that’s when adding the two highest dice comes into play?

Anyway for this specific roll we are tied at a 6. How do you sort out a tie?

'Ties may result in neither character succeeding, temporary stalemates, or other outcomes at the GM's discretion.'

I think a temporary stalemate would just result in making another roll next time, or maybe we can negotiate a success with complications, with one winning but getting some complication, and the other losing but getting none. Thoughts?

Maybe, Matsui spots you but before he can do anything he’s swarmed by groupies as a result of him turning around and scanning the crowd?

If you have something else in mind, more than happy for a suggestion?

How about: he sees that Lín Jìng is the one most suspicious, is only briefly swarmed by only 1-3 admirers (i.e. no long-term impairment or obstacles), but one of the admirers manages to snatch his already twice-loosened tie as a souvenir and run off. Would that be acceptable?

Sidenote, I think I figured out how dice ACTUALLY WORK.

So you roll 2d6 + any powers or weakness relevant to the roll. Then you multiply any duplicate dice together (expect 1’s cuz they don’t multiply) and then take the highest number. If no dice are duplicates then you simply take the highest rolled number.

Example: 6d6 (6,5,4,4,1,1) this becomes (6,5,8,1) and you take the 8

4d6 (5,4,3,2) is simply a result of 5 and so on.

Yeah that works, I like that.

You've figured out how to compute dice rolls already. Great! I was at the hospital with my mother all day yesterday, and I apologize for not being around to help. I'm very impressed that you guys worked out how to solve an IC conflict amicably as players.

What conflict?

Waiting for the adjusted post from Gluttony and will react to it if I'm still unoccupied upon reading it.

Opposed rolls and actions between your characters. It's not exactly pvp, but it's close.

Matsui is chasing these girls around for his tie 😂

I didn't yet read the game posts, but it's nice you guys figured out the outcome for the characters yourselves.

Bluh. I got busy for a few days and let the posts accumulate too much again... I'm very sorry.

It's fine all we did was fist fight our teachers!
