Is it possible for a player to call a flashback between the roll and its resolution, in order to retroactively avoid the effects of a failed roll?
I’ll tell you what happened because it’s so fucking cool (my players are awsome).
They were in Lord Skurlock hous, celebrating a typical Tycherosi demon hunt.
Since they failed the engagement roll, they found themselves in the middle of the ghost trap labyrinth scurlock uses to keep the ghosts he’ll feed on.
Since they were neaby to the keystone of the labyrinth, the Slide and the Whisper drugged themselves, and the slide used his sex expertize (and demonic connection – they’re a cult) to stimulate the whisper and augment her psychic energies. She failed the attune roll to properly use the energies, and told us that she was feeling too good to properly concentrate.
So i asked the Slide: well, you’re the master of sexual energies. How do you direct them? In you two, binding your perceptions? In the spark-craft creation protecting you from ghosts? Or in the key-stone, making skurlock an enemy of yours?
Afterwards, the Whisper asked for having a demon energy trap with a flashback action. That’s cool and nice, (really, i enjoy that scenem it was one of the best of our game, sharing the character fears and vulnerabilies among bling demonic sex), but i fear that this could set a precedent.
