Gazing into the Yawning Portal of Waterdeep – looming enticingly on the horizon – you can make out the sails of a Dice Masters Armada headed toward our fair shores.  Its cargo contains not only the wisdom of an adventurer who’s already done battle with these cards, but amongst it’s loot is a previously unseen, unsullied WWE SPOILER from parts unknown!  Come feast your eyes and ears!  All this – plus a Hall of Fame nomination and more!

[00:17:57]      Talking about how the EXPERIENCE keyword functions
Experience – A character die with the Experience keyword is considered an Adventurer. At the end of your turn, if you KO’d at least one opposing [MONSTER] during your turn, all Adventurers who were active during the KO and remain active at the end of the turn gain one Experience Token on their card. A card can only gain one Experience Token per turn from the Experience keyword (though other abilities may allow a card to gain more than one). An opposing player KOing their own Monster will not generate Experience Tokens, nor can you gain an Experience Token by KOing one of your own Monsters. (DDDM1)

Equip – Gear dice with the Equip keyword may be attached to a character with the [GEAR] icon immediately below their alignment icon when they first enter the Field Zone, and at the beginning of each player’s turn. You may switch the attachment from one character die to another. If the equipped character die leaves the Field Zone, the Gear die remains in the Field Zone (unattached). (DDDM1)

Gear – Gear are a special type of Continuous Action Dice that have the Equip keyword. They are “used” by moving them into the Field Zone. When you initially do this, and at the beginning of each turn that this die is active (any player’s turn), you may attach this die to a character with the Equip icon ([GEAR]). You may switch the attachment from one character die to another. If the equipped character die leaves the Field Zone, the Gear die remains in the Field Zone (unattached). As with all non-character dice, Gear dice can’t attack or block. (DDDM1)

[00:20:27]      Examples of Experience mistakes
[00:24:20]      Stephen talks about SPARK Keyword
Spark – While a character with a Spark ability is active, if you roll a [BURST] face on one or more dice, use the Spark ability at the end of the current Step. During the Roll and Reroll Step, only check at the end of the Step. (DDDM4)
Obscure – When you use an Action die, this character is unblockable until end of turn. (DDDM4)
