need Socrates die skill

[ManvilleFog]

Socrates: S Text on the button reads: "Socrates may use one of his opponent's dice as part of any 2-die Skill Attack.

---

(I'm not sure how the Socrates buttonman was implemented on the old site, but this seems a good way to do it.) Socrates is a rare from the Fantasy set, with special rules as mentioned above. To implement this, the special rule is being made into a die skill that is being given to each one of Socrates' dice. Socrates dice may attack as normal. It may also make a Socrates Attack, which is a 2-die skill attack using the Socrates die and one of the opponent's dice.

Inconsistencies: •Fire does not work with Socrates Attacks (which are a special form of a skill attack, technically.) NOTE (mostly to clarify this statement to myself): The above inconsistency is taken from the notes on Fire Dice. It does not mean that an opponent's Fire Die can not be used with Socrates, just that it's being used for its face value and not its special ability.

QUESTION: If an opponent's die can not normally be used in skill attacks, can it still be used in Socrates Attacks? QUESTION: Does the opponent's die used in this way get rerolled after the attack?

QUESTION: Does the opponent's die used in this way get rerolled after the attack?

From the Online Rulebook: Clarification: Bill does not re-roll any dice to begin his turn. Unless they make attacks or are re-rolled by some special effect, dice remain as they were rolled.

Because it says "Unless they make attacks..." and the die is used in an attack, it should be re-rolled.

My memory of the old site is that the opponent's die you used definitely got rerolled.

That's consistent with how it used to work on the old site. (i.e. I'm pretty sure that the opponent's die in a Socrates Attack was re-rolled)

I suggest that this skill be called Irony.

Socrates was known for irony, and it fits in with using an opponent's dice against them.
