Pro & AH

Post by daloonieshaman »

Assume you had a goblin with pro and a Troll with pro
When Always Hungry is failed, Do you roll the pro for the troll before you roll the getaway for the goblin and vice versa?

Here is the way I see it and I am looking for conformation or correction
AH failed
Troll pro roll failed again
Goblin getaway failed
goblin pro getaway/fail

no you may not ask why you would have a troll with pro non the less a goblin :puke:

Sounds like the only way to do it in my ears.....

pro is used directly after the failed roll it's supposed to reroll.

Yes you do. You could use Pro on either roll. So on the initial 2+ to be hungry or on the 2+ to avoid eating the goblin

Pro is an individual skill... so the Troll could pro one personal roll and the Gobbo could pro one personal roll....

Sorry I should have said either instead of again.

Does the Goblin or the Troll roll the dice for being eaten... I re-read it and I'd read it as the troll making both rolls, but I think its a little ambiguous.
Roll the D6 again, a second 1 means that he successfully scoffs the team-mate down, which kills the team-mate without opportunity for recovery (Apothecaries, Regeneration or anything else cannot be used).

Hopefully we have been doing it right all these years:
"Is he (TROLL) stupid?" (roll)
"Is he (TROLL) hungry?" (roll)
"Does he (TROLL) attempt to eat the goblin?" (roll)
If the TROLL was not stupid and/or hungry, complete the pass/landing sequence....
If the TROLL tried to eat the goblin, "Does the TROLL successfully scarf him down?"
If the gobbo cannot get away and is eaten... tough noogies.... Otherwise:
If the GOBLIN squirms free, scatter the gobbo and "Does the GOBLIN land safely?" (gobbo rolls and completes the landing sequence)

Ah, okay - I thought you mean the "eat" roll - sometimes people think the goblin is rolling to stop being eaten.

Both dice rolls are caused by the Troll's ability Always Hungry, so I'd argue he is the one rolling the dice.

Nothing in the goblin's skill set indicates he ever needs to roll a die to avoid being eaten.

While not a great example for a precedent, Tentacles and Shadowing both indicate that someone other than the player with the skill rolls the dice. Always Hungry doesn't specify the Goblin rolls the die to get away. Infact, looking at the CRP the wording seems to support the Troll rolling the dice both times.

"... Roll the D6 again..." The troll rolls Always Hungry the first time. Rolls a one. Rules say he rolls again to see if another one shows up.

(I corrected my previous error on the last post I made)

Rulebook in hand, the Troll makes all rolls except the goblin's landing (whether fumbled/thrown)... per the skill description for "Always Hungry"....
