Destiny Dice in Blackstone Fortress, additional action?

[Inquisitor Eisenhorn]

I just was watching a play through video of Blackstone Fortress and noticed something that I may have been doing wrong this whole time.  

 

When you use  Destiny dice, do you use them as a substitute for the value of one of your own action dice, or is it an ADDITIONAL die you are using, so for example, could you use your 4 action dice + 1 destiny die for 5 total actions during a character's activation?

Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower grants additional actions, so I believe Blackstone Fortress would be the same. Edited February 19, 2020 by Grotsmasha

Oh wow I've been playing both wrong! That makes both sooo much easier.

Yeah my group took them to do extra actions.

Yup, they are additional actions. So if you have one character using all the destiny dice in one battle round, you can rack up a lot of actions. They are also the tool to keep heavily wounded characters contributing to the group.

You can't use more than two destiny dice per Explorer per turn, IIRC. Edited February 26, 2020 by Dosjetka

I would have to look that up. I cannot remember that rule, but we might just have missed it.

*IF* it's the same as Silver Tower, the next highest dice "locks" and the player can't use it, but they unlock for the next player and so on. The last player may use all Destiny Dive that are left IIRC

Thought you were wrong, looked it up, and you are correct. Each explorer can only use two per turn.

Thanks for checking and reporting back; I had completely forgotten to do so myself. :sweat:
