Vedalken Squirrel-Whacker Rulings

• Oct 7, 2022

  After rolling one or more six-sided dice and seeing the results, you decide whether you want to make the exchange. You may exchange one result at most, no matter how many dice you rolled. For example, say Vedalken Squirrel-Whacker is a 2/5 and you roll a 3. You could make Vedalken Squirrel-Whacker a 3/5 and change the die roll result to 2, make it a 2/3 and change the die roll result to 5, or leave everything how it was.

  Each die is identified by the number of faces it has. A six-sided die is a die with six equally likely outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The roll must be fair. Although physical dice are recommended, digital substitutes are allowed except in cases where the physical die is required for the effect.

  If Vedalken Squirrel-Whacker's base power or toughness changes through some other means, it is possible to exchange a die roll so that it has a result that would normally not be possible for that die, such as, on a six-sided die, a result of 9, or 42, or -3. These are all perfectly reasonable results on a six-sided die.

  If a die is rerolled, the original roll essentially never happened: it doesn't cause any abilities to trigger, and no effect that cares about die rolls will consider it.

  If an ability triggers "whenever you roll a die," it will trigger whenever you roll any die, including the planar die. This is a change from previous Un- rules. Some abilities use the result to determine part of the effect. If you get a non-numerical result (currently just the planar die, but the future is long), that part of the effect won't do anything.
