Bug Chest, use Blessing and d8's drop to d4's

[Tiltowait]

That's pretty much it.

 

Seelah encounters Barrer Large Chest. Has base d8+2.

Discard Blessing.

She now has 2d4.  

Use her Inspired Grace.  3d4.

Inspired Grace w/o Blessing d8 + d6 + 2.

Did you check what skill was after blessing? You may have to switch the skill back to original. The game sometimes ques the optimal skill wrongly and you have to manually change it to better one.

I think that Hannibal_PJV has it here. I frequently have to choose between 2D8 or 3D4 when playing a Blessing on a Barrier Check. Managing the skill used for the check is an important (but less-used) part of the game.

If you play a blessing that gives you 2 dice - it always defaults to to that, rather than 1 extra of higher value as suggested above.

[mccrispy]

Yeah, that sounds like the behaviour I see: it changes the check type to match the skill of the Blessing, which means if you don't have that skill, you get 2D4 rather than 1 die of the skill that you do have.

Yep, most likely the blessing you played was either Calistria or Milani, both of which grant 2 dice to a dexterity check, of which Seelah uses a d4.
