If you want to, you can spend Will on your very first roll and so use lots of dice right away.

- | The initial "risk free" roll gives you a certain amount of descriptive leeway. If you're rolling to jump across a wide abyss and you succeed, then you made the jump. If you fail and don't spend Will, maybe at the last second you decided it was wider than it looked at first, so you don't make the attempt. If you spend Will to roll again but still fail, that's when you really jump but don't make it across. | + | The initial "risk free" roll gives you a certain amount of descriptive leeway.
