The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll.Let's say DM rolls X for a monster. You say, "misfortune time". He rolls Y. Regardless of what X was (since you don't know it), it picks Y, ignoring X entirely. Thus, the actual value of X is irrelevant to all actors, you, Y, and the DM and even the monster. Nobody has a choice in the matter to pick X over Y, it's always Y. So how does this grant "misfortune" at all? Y could be greater than X for all you know. Each die roll does not influence the other in any way, since you can't compare them at the time of choosing which gets used.//still scratching my head on this one.</blockquote>
