I try to make my players declare how many Combat pool dice they want to
allocate beforehand, which is the way I understand it to be. I think it says
this in the Combat chapter under how a round a performed.
When rerolling failures, however, they seem to think they can only reroll
skill dice instead of all of them. Am I correct in allowing all dice to be
rerolled?
