SWADE Bennies

Using Bennies

Here are the ways characters can use their Bennies. Spending Bennies is always a free action (see page 92), and may only be used on your own character.

„REROLL A TRAIT TEST: As long as the roll wasn't a Critical Failure (see Critical Failures, page 88), you can spend a Benny to reroll any Trait test. Make the entire roll from scratch. If you're firing three shots on full auto and don't like the results, spend a Benny, pick up all three dice and your Wild Die and roll again. You can do this until you run out of Bennies, but must choose one of the “sets” of rolls to keep (not the best dice from each roll). If a reroll results in a Critical Failure, it must be accepted no matter what was rolled before. Such is the price of tempting fate!

„RECOVER FROM SHAKEN: This is instant and may be done at any time, even interrupting another's actions if desired.

„SOAK ROLLS: Bennies can also be used to prevent Wounds or recover from being Shaken. See Soak Rolls on page 96 for more information.

„DRAW A NEW ACTION CARD: When the game is in rounds, a character can spend a Benny to get a new Action Card (see page 91). This occurs after all cards are dealt and Edges or Hindrances like Quick, Level Headed, or Hesitant are resolved. Then players or the GM may spend Bennies for an additional card as many times as they like and take their choice of all their draws. Edges like Quick or Level Headed do not apply to these additional cards drawn with Bennies. This continues until everyone (including the GM) passes. Then the round begins and no further cards may be drawn.

„REROLL DAMAGE: Spend a Benny to reroll the damage for your character's attack. Include any additional dice you may have gained for a raise. Keep track of each result as the player may choose which to use.

„REGAIN POWER POINTS: A character with an Arcane Background can spend a Benny to regain 5 Power Points (Power Points and their use are explained on page 147.)

„INFLUENCE THE STORY: This one is entirely up to the Game Master, who may allow your character to spend a Benny to find an additional clue if you're stuck, come up with some mundane but needed item, or simply push an unimportant nonplayer character into being a bit more agreeable.
