Sporan

That pouch worn at the front of a kilt.


Card Text

(1) Sporan

ScottishSpecialItem

Brìgh a Bharrachd: After you roll a 1 on any of your dice, you may re-roll that die.

Worn at the front of the kilt in the traditional dress of men of the Scottish Highlands, these leather or fur pouches were used to carry a wide variety of foodstuffs and other useful items.

Warrior Pack

Sporan comes with the Uilleam Uallas warrior pack.

 

From the QCT

I have a question from your Anatomy of a Roll:

How does an ability like Alnabi Mosa work?

Does this fire as #2 - "die modification" or as #4 "any ability that checks the result of a die"?

Alnabi Mosa's ability, like Sporan, Udjat Eye, and Mace of the Scorpion King, is dependant on the result of the die or roll in order to have an effect. Its effect does modify dice, true, but the trigger is the part that matters here.

Would Shan Wen Jia work like Udjat Eye with Alnabi Mosa? If you rolled a 1 on a die and used Shan Wen Jia would you get the +3 to your roll for your 1 and still get the die changed to a 3? Same with Sporan, would you get the +3 and the reroll? and on that line, if you do can you trigger the armor again if you roll a second 1?

•These abilities all reference the value of the dice in the roll, and thus will occur at the same time. As with other cases where multiple abilities can be used at the same time, the player who controls them both chooses the order in which they are processed.

•Re-rolls are part of the orignal roll, however, and therefore cannot trigger card abilities multiple times.

I want to double check this combo I just thought of, so I'm running it by you fine folks. It's already been established in the FAQ that when you use the "precision" ability, it's you, the wielder, who's doing the reroll, regardless of who's physically changing their dice.

Now, let's say you're in a multiplayer free-for-all, and an opponent is attacking another warrior that's not you. You force one die in the attack roll to be rerolled, and the result is a 1. That means you can move, thanks to Jue Ying's second ability, right? Even if it's not your dice, even if you're not participating, just because it's been established that I'm doing the reroll, does that let me trigger "Kuai shu jue duan"?

PS-- would this also work with Udjat Eye?

•Re-rolls are not new rolls - they are a modification to the existing roll. When you get to the staep where Sporran, Jue Ying and other things are used (abilities that check the results of the dice or roll), they check rolls that you made - not rolls that you modified.

•In short, no. This doesn't work.

I always thought Sporan would work on a reroll. It does say "any of your dice". It doesn't say Attack or Defense roll.

•Sporran does work on re-rolls, since it refers to the result on any die being rolled, not to the result of the roll taht the die is a part of.

•The rule that 're-rolls are not new rolls but modifications of the existing roll' exists to keep you from applying your attack roll bonuses again and again or triggering 'after you make an attack roll' abilities each time you re-roll the roll or part of the roll.
