I was reviewing Bostria's BoW video from 11/21/17 previewing SoF. He states toward the end that Laxmee has a Tactics card that in some situations may be more powerful than a "No!" This must be Laxmee's "Atom" I am trying to understand better the implications of this card. The timing is "Before your opponent makes a roll" Then the effect is "Choose a , , or die from your opponent's Roll. Your opponent's Roll is reduced to that die only. Your opponent cannot add any more dice to their Roll. I was playing the TTS mod a few days ago. My opponent- Mushashi attacked my Mushashi and added a bunch of dice to the Face-to-Face Roll of Ken No Sen. For sake of demonstration say he added a , and . He would otherwise be rolling a ,,,,,. This would likely give devastating results and likely trigger his switch to attack again without spending any Action Points. However if I had "Atom" in my hand and played it after he added the extra dice but before he makes his roll, then he rolls only one. No chance for his switch giving extra attack and the best result for him is .So even if he converts to he does a maximum of two hits. Please correct me if I misunderstand.
Can I use 'Atom' Tactic to Simple Rolls? because Timing said only "Before your opponent makes a roll"
I would think that one could use "Atom" against a simple roll. An enemy Gata might be threatening to Dazzle one of your key ranged characters or you may want to shut down a certain Gotcha or Vade Retro. Shutting down a crucial "Be Water, Dude" for which your opponent spent 3 action points might be very frustrating for him.
Thanks for your answer. But Two more questions. 1. If I used ‘Atom’ to opponent’s single dice roll action(like medikit of Parvati), that rolls nullified or not? 2. If laxmee declare ‘move’, and after she use ‘D/buffer’ and get switchs, her movement point can over 5 points? Or maximum ponit amount is 5?
My best answer 1. Using "Atom" on an opponent's dice roll where he only has one die to roll would be a waste of an excellent Tactic. It would not nullify the roll. He would still roll that one die alone. 2. Every time you spend 2 action points you accumulate the allotment of movement points with which you may spend one movement point at a time. So you could spend 4 action points for 2 times 4 movement points to get 8 and then use D/buffer. If you are super lucky and you roll and every die face has you may spend to gain three more movement points for a total of 11 movement points. In short there is no limit to the movement points that you can accumulate.
