In the rulebook on page 15 it says:
If I’m trying to climb a rocky cliff of 1 HEART, I need 10 EFFORT to overcome it. If I’m wearing Magic Climbing Boots, the EFFORT would be Magical! Making 10 EFFORT with a D8 is far faster and easier than just normal shoes, which would be BASIC EFFORT, D4, and so on!
I really don’t understand the last statement: How can it be faster and easier to make 10 effort with af D8 - with 8 as the highest result?
…and because I’m confused about this statement I can’t comprehend how a PC ever can fight a monster with 4 hearts using any dice. Even not a D12?!
Of course I have misunderstood something - ex the meaning of “rounds”. Am I supposed to fight for several rounds in a battle and may I sum up my rolled dices? Ex “2” with a D6 in first round, then “3” in the next and so on until reaching 4 hearts = 40 HP (If I suvive that very very long?)
