When salvaging failure, can I borrow a Toy that doesn give me enough of a bonus to succeed, and then Use It Til It Breaks to get a reroll?
No, for two reasons. The Salvaging Failure rules only allow you to reassign a Toy if it would give your Catgirl enough of a bonus to succeed. The same rules also state that you can only discard a Toy for a reroll (i.e., use it ’til it breaks) if your catgirl already had it on her. (Note that Giles once said otherwise on the forums, but as the rules are very explicit about this, I would have to consider that an error.) My Captain fails a Challenge roll. I choose to “use her Toy ’til it breaks” and assign her a new one (before the reroll) as well. She fails, so I use the new Toy ’til it breaks and assign her another new one. If she fails, I do it again and again. Is this legal? Yes, and impressive, but it will only work with the Captain and only if every single Toy you do this with gives a bonus to the one roll that the current Challenge happens to require. That’s unlikely to ever happen, but if it does, go for it!
