I’m putting together a cheat sheet for Downtime…and I just want to make sure this is correct about spending coin after down time rolls.
Page 153 states:
“For any downtime activity, take +1d to the roll if a friend or contact helps you.
After the roll, you may spend coin after the roll to improve the result level.”
A) I’m guessing you can spend coin regardless if you get help…but the rules read like you can spend coin ONLY IF you get help.
“ANY downtime” doesn’t seem to make sense for the following:
B) Train doesn’t have a die roll, so I’m assuming you can’t improve it with Coin.
C) Indulge Vice dice has a dice roll that isn’t really a “traditional result level”. Can you spend Coin to adjust the outcome?
A & B) yep.
C) Yes, and choose any die result in the range: for example, if you indulge vice with a 3 you can spend coin to get a 4 or a 5, your choice
Actually, C is not defined in the rules as far as I can see. So handle it whatever way you want (I like my vice uncontrolled, so spending coin to upgrade it safely feels wrong).
B) But you don’t actually need to – you can just spend extra coin on another Downtime action, “improving” the result.
I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.
