[QUOTE="Chryssis, post: 6658035, member: 6787279"] Thanks for the comments Quartz, 1. 7th level ability - Both. it uses your reaction, so either on your turn you make an attack and hit then use your reaction to for lack of a better terminology gain advantage on your damage dice (eg you normally roll 1d12 so you roll instead 2d12 and choose the better result) or if you didnt use it on your turn (and therefore still have your reaction) you can use it when you or someone else is hit/fails a save to reduce the damage (give disadvantage on the damage). Since it is once per rest you will never be able to do both actions you have to choose one or the other. 2. yes a luck die is a d20 (as per the lucky feat) 3. I specify in the text later but maybe it wasn't clear enough or I should say it before the first part of the ability, "[COLOR=#000000]Before seeing the roll or you may spend 1 karma point[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]"[/COLOR] the intention was that you would declare that you use it before you roll. So I attack the Zombie (ac 8 so i'm confident I will hit) I will use karma and take disadvantage, I roll a 1 and a 19, oh nuts my DM is mean and has harsh critical failure rules I dont want to break my axe, I will use a luck die to roll a 3rd die and let me choose the die I want, you do not gain the karma point since you did not take the 1 of the original roll. Works if you already have advantage/disadvantage to an extent as well. Advantage: I attack the prone zombie I will use karma, Since I have advantage I roll 2 dice, since I use Karma I have disadvantage (cancels out advantage) roll 1 fewer die. Roll 1 die, take the result. (or use a lucky die/halfling lucky trait and dont get the karma point) I attack the prone zombie, I can't use a karma point to gain advantage, I already have it. Dis-advantage: Help i'm blind! I swing wildly at the tarrasque, I have disadvantage therefore cannot get disadvantage again - can't gain a karma point since I didn't gain disadvantage I already had it. help i'm blnid! I swing wildly at the tarrasque, I have disadvantage therefore I will spend a karma point to gain advantage. Hurray I attack normally, roll 1 die. [/QUOTE]
