Re: [ORE] Extras & Dice Pool Limits

Is the dice pool limit still 10d, even for those extras?


Yes. The most dice you can ever roll is 10. That includes hard dice and wiggle dice as well as regular dice.

 
Are spray dice only allowed to make sets with the attached attack? If someone dodges in the same action, for example, do the spray dice need to be tracked separately from the main pool of dice?

When you take multiple actions, you declare what you are doing for all your actions, and then you roll the smallest dice pool. You decide what matches go with which action after you see the matches. (And, in fact, you can decide after the GM decides which sets he rolled for the NPCs will be used against your character.)

So, yes, you can use your spray dice to dodge, but only if your attack pool was the smallest of the pools based on the actions you choose. Or, more simply, you take the spray into account when deciding the pool size, but once you know the pool size you just roll dice and use them for all your actions.

For example, you have Dodge at
9d and Ranged Weapon [SMG] at 2d+1wd. The SMG has 3 spray dice. You choose to shoot two people and dodge.
That's three actions. You get one action for free, and -2d penalty for the multiple actions. With the Dodge skill, you would roll 7d (9d with the -2d penalty). With the SMG you'd roll 5d+1wd (the spray dice add 3 dice, and they eat up to 3d in penalties).

You would roll 5d+1wd because six dice is a smaller pool than seven dice. Any matches you roll can go against any of the three actions you declared.
