Hi there,

I started my first playthrough of Troves and like it quite alot but I have a questions about the rulings.

I have problem with the core concepts "DV +" vs "+ attributes", probably because english is not my first language.

Am I correct with my assumption that the spelling of the whole book is:

Agility +1 means the DV is +1 and +1 Agility means add 1 to your agility roll? Or does it have to clearly state "DV" to modify the dice.

Because I only found specified DVs in the Training section and in the Items of the Wyrm Maze, all other Tables just show +/- Value before or after the attribute. 

But then again the Wyrm weapon "Blade of the Wyrm" states Fight DV+1 and Fight + 1 ... which would be DV+2, in the Crump Tables we have the Crumps Hammer which does Fight + 3 and then -1 Agility, which would "raise" the DV + 3 and -1 to a Agility roll.

My second question is about the Iron Knuckles from The Guardian which says "deal 1 harm on a failed attacks", does this activate on my failed attacks, on enemy failed attacks or both?

I can understand Dice Value (DV) being confusing. Agility +1 and +1 Agility are interchangeable i.e. they mean the same thing. A DV modification would be clearly stated, such as Agility DV+1. 

So, the Blade of the Wyrm (Fight DV+1, Fight +1, Harm 4) would modify the Fight DV by +1 and a +1 bonus to Fight rolls.

Crump's Hammer (Fight +3, -1 Agility, 3 Harm) would give +3 to all Fight rolls, -1 to Agility rolls, and deals 3 Harm. There are no modification to DV.

Iron Knuckles (Deal 1 Harm on failed attacks) deals a guaranteed 1 Harm to the target when your character misses.

I'm actually working on an update for TROVES, making it simpler for players, and addressing issues like DV and modifiers. I'm aiming to have the new version out by the end of this week.

Thank you very much for clarifying.

I am really interested in the coming changes.
