First game of ASOBH

[nervisfr]

OK, you two. Thanks nervisfr & Hobgolin, I guess, that I'll give the reaction roll a chance. That actually made me very curious!

You are welcome.......in a new dimension

I have bought a PDF of ASoBH and as advertised it's pretty much the same as the original with added reactions and broadened magic system.

I was initially puzzled by the rule around turn over. It used to be explicit (in old SoBH) that a two fail/one success roll allowed the player to take his one success before the turn over. From the rule as written, I inferred that the turn-over happened with the same timing as a reaction - immediately and the phasing player takes no action. The next section in the rules was Reaction - clear enough. Then I expected an explanation of Turn-over - and nothing.
I see this has been clarified by Andrea on Yahoo - the phasing player does take his action - but it's a surprising omission for a ruleset that has had so many iterations.

thanks Kamandi, I don't have SoBH so I just assumed that the Turn-Over happened immediately as a Reaction, take some of the sting out of loosing the initiate...

I'm pretty sure it is in an example in Of Gods and Mortals which is essentially a similar system mechanically.

I wonder if it's under the Leader trait (don't have the rules to hand at the moment). I think that's where it's clearest in SOBH: a leader who rolls one success and two failures isn't allowed to use his sole action for a group order.
