Luck of the Irish??? Do you possibly mean loaded dice? If so, then
yes you have to decide before you roll whether to go up or down.
However since you know the target range of what you are rolling for
you can pick it based on that. For instance, as mentioned previously
in this thread, using LD on Lord Torgo and Retinal Scanners on 6
Trolls return.
OK, actually now that I double checked this card maybe this isn't such
a good idea. I had thought it was on 6+ Trolls returned, in which
case the LD would help increase the odds to 1/3. Since it is on a
roll of 6 only the LD on RS isn't going to help in this case.
I assume since it isn't specified a roll of 7 would be a no effect?
Has anyone asked this? Actually to generalize it, what happens when
the die comes up with a number (after being modified of course) that
isn't on the card?
Oh well, another good idea shot down :-)
Later!
Forrest
