I'm trying to remember the name of the band that put out "Do We Not
Bleed?" but don't have the approptiate skill. My INT is 4 and I have 2
levels of Mneumonic Enhancers. Do I roll 4 dice at +4 T#, or 6 dice at
+4 T#?

I'd roll 6 dice myself.

Wasn't that Shield Wall? I'm at work at the moment and forgot to bring
SHADOWBEAT with me....

Well, my reasoning being...isn't that what mnemonic enhancers are *for*?

Darwin's Bastards. Is it bad that I recalled that without looking in
Shadowbeat (and even worse, perhaps, that I recall that their second
album, Breeder Blues, was not comfortable listening?)

As for your actual question...6 dice, as mnemonic enhancers add one die
per level to memory tests.

No, Shield Wall was working on the rock opera "Mother of the Sea". "Do We
Not Bleed" was by Darwin's Bastards, a group of so-called "goblin
rockers".
