Spending Action Dice does not always mean rolling

Spend the Action Dice (AD) first. Roll only if the action needs a roll. These three examples use ordinary costs and no bonus dice.

1. Pulling this stiff lever needs no check. Pay one Action Die and roll no dice.
2. The ordinary Skill Check costs one Action Die: one die for the check. Pay one and roll one.
3. With one Boost die, pay two Action Dice: one for the check plus one extra for Boost. Roll both dice.

Result: The three examples pay one, one and two Action Dice, while rolling zero, one and two dice.

• A roll uses the dice required by the action, genuine Boost dice and any explicitly granted bonus dice.
