Hello, I have a question about the "assists" mechanic. Actions succeed if the roll is less than the relevant stat number. Assists add 1d6 to this roll, which from my understanding only brings the action closer to failure. Are assists meant to work like that, or am I misunderstanding this mechanic?

Hi there, sorry that this response is so delayed. To answer the question, the extra 1d6 is treated separately, giving the player 2 chances to succeed vs just have a single chance with their 1d6. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I think a bit more info is needed here for the reprint!
