Handicap Table question

[sangraal]

Hi Guys,

Not really a rules query, but should the player that is getting each handicap
fully resolve each one before rolling for the next?

That is, should the player know the result of (say) 3 rolls before deciding
options on all of them? ---- Say you got an extra skill for one player for the game on the first roll, then based your choice of skill on the results of the 2nd
& 3rd rolls --- it would give you an advantage.

If you got bribe the ref on the second roll you might take Dirty Player on the
first ---- should people really have that choice?

Well, as you said, it's da roolz...

I can see some merit in knowing all the results in advance, but I'd rather see a nicer handicap table. Resolving each roll as it happens means less bookkeeping (every bit helps) and, for me atleast, keeps it more exciting.

Also, some combo's are really broken, and this would make them pop up more often. So on the whole, I'd give it a tentative 'no'.

I was wondering too, but on LRB p.43 it says:

Roll on the table and apply the result immediately if
you can. Then make your next roll,...
