[QUOTE="Egon, post: 6715409, member: 6800672"] While this doesn't apply to me directly, I do have a question about something in the PHB. Page 84: Now, this is an ability of the Paladin that they gain at 2nd level. And while none of us are currently Paladins, the possibility does exist that someone may at some point MC into one. And so, I have the following question(s) about this. For the sake of argument, let's assume the use of a Great Sword, which does 2d6 damage. 1. Does the phrase "damage die" apply to each single die in the roll, or to the overall set of dice? 2. If single die, does the ability allow the re-roll of only one of the dice thrown, or would you be allowed to re-roll both dice if they both came up 1s or 2s? Say you rolled 2d6 and ended up with a pair of 1s; do you re-roll both 1s, or only one of them? 3. If the phrase means the overall set of dice, do you then re-roll the entire set if one of them comes up a 1 or a 2? Or do you still only re-roll the one die that came up a 1 or 2? Or does the overall result have to be a 2, 3, or 4 (indicating any combination of 1s and 2s on the dice)? I know that we are a long ways off from someone MCing into Paladin 2. But there may be other situations where the phrase "die" comes up but the individual (PC or NPC) in question has multiple dice that they are throwing at that point. I had this question come up in a game I'm running elsewhere, and while I know how I ruled on it, I'd like to get your take as well. To be clear, I did check the Sage Advice column, and this isn't addressed. I could have sworn it was, but I didn't see it again when I checked this morning. Then again, I am blind before I've had more than 3 cups of coffee, so that may be why I didn't see it. [/QUOTE]
