[QUOTE="KesselZero, post: 6097947, member: 6689976"] So in the Classes packet, it says of martial damage dice, "When you spend a martial damage die, you cannot use it again on the same turn." So you get them back at the beginning of the turn of whatever creature goes right after you. This means that if you use Parry (the fighter power) or a maneuver like Defensive Roll or Protect when it's not your turn, you can spend all your MDD, then have them back at the beginning of the next creature's turn, right? So there's basically no reason not to spend all your MDD for Parry or something like it, because you can only take one reaction per round (but of course, that also limits you to only using Parry, or any other off-turn maneuver, once per round). But this is distinct from Controlled Fall, the monk maneuver, which lets you spend MDD "when you fall," but not as a reaction. I think I get it; I just want to make sure I have it straight before I run my first DDN session next week. To recap: you can use all your MDD on your own turn, and can use them all again once per round off your turn (using your reaction), except for Controlled Fall because it's special. Yeah? [/QUOTE]
