Hello! I bought this today, and it looks cool, but I have a rules question: when explaining how to roll, it says roll 1d6, with 7 or above being a miss. However, I'm not seeing anything about adding to the roll, so how would I ever miss? I feel like I'm missing the explanation but I haven't found it.
Hey there! So, on your initial roll, you can't roll a 7. However, this uses the Push system. By design, in the Push system, when you roll a 4 or lower on your d6, it's a weak hit—but you can choose to roll an additional 1d6 and add it to that result. You have to add that value, even if it pushes you over 7 and turns it into a miss. Think of it as a risk vs. reward—eat the weak hit, or take a risk to see if you can push it into a strong hit, but it might also become a disastrous miss.
I hope this helps! If not I can diagram out a few rolls for you.

This makes perfect sense. I went back and found the explanation in the rules--my brain kept skipping over it, apparently. Thanks!
