i'm a bit new of this game and so probably I'm asking something obvious.
Can dice pools only be used in combats? I think that they must be used in combat, one of my players is not so sure about that. If a rigger is trying to drive a rotorwing is a storm (but not in combat) is it allowed to use control pool or he must only rely on Karma pool? |
