Hi all:
Tony: over in story games, (http://www.story-games.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=718&page=1&PHPSESSID=a331ab996325f8ae9009fbae95dfd580#Item_34) you said the following:
QuoteQuoteAction: Use Ability to roll up a die
Spend Debt to Split said die
Reaction: Use Ability to roll up one of the split dice.
Not legal. Action-Reaction is a unit to itself. Staking and Splitting (and Inspirations) happen before and/or after that unit, but not in the middle of it.
This was not at all obvious to me, and comes as a complete surprise. On reflection, I can see how the last paragraph on page 25 supports this, though. Its simply not the way I interpreted that paragraph in the past. I post this here so that those that might not be paying attention to Story Games can have the benefit of it, and also, so that I can add it to the FAQ without posting links from other forums.
