WOIN Dice Pool Caps

[GLazelle]

Hi all,

In WOIN:

When do die pool caps apply?

Do I figure stat + skill + equipment, then apply the cap, before adding in circumstantial modifiers to a roll.,

Or do I also apply circumstantial modifiers (aiming, range, etc) before applying the cap?

In the first case I may end up rolling more dice than the cap, but high skill and good gear, etc provide less protection from circumstantial modifiers. In the second a higher number of starting dice can offset penalties, but I'll only ever roll dice up to the cap.

Many thanks,

The first option.

I'm guessing from the timing that you have OLD, in which case that's explained in the sidebar in p137. If you have NEW, there's a similar sidebar in that book.

Option one by the look of it then. Thanks.
