Re: [s-d] King for a Day prop

[Jake Eakle <jseakle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A number of dice is not a number of research points. If there were a clause
saying "If you get more than 100 research points in this way [something
happens]" then that could be changed, but the die roll only determines how
many you get, it is not an actual number of points. Another example would be
if something said "You get research points equal to the number of tildex you
own divided by 100" you couldn't change the 100. You can only change
numbers, not functions.
