Hi, Michael!

A couple of questions:

If I fail to make a "risk it" roll, I'm required to roll again. Am I therefore required to continue re-rolling until I succeed or perish? And does a multiple "risk it" challenge have these same re-roll requirements?

Since the second edition of the game does not allow me to choose "stress" as a condition of a "risk it" roll failure, what is the drawback for applying the "stress" bonus to every "risk it" roll?

All best,

Hey there!

Yes, if you fail a risk roll you must continue rolling, and that counts for multiple risk it rolls. So if you succeed at the first roll in an encounter that ask you to make two risk rolls, but fail the second, you must roll again.

There is no drawback for applying stress to a risk roll.

Thank you for the response. We've just been taking conditions for our failures and moving on.
