OK, this one is slightly doctored from an original game... but here's the general idea
it's the "coming out" roll, and while the opponent has the initiative, you have focus dice
Say you have (this is really what I *did* have, as Konami)
6-sided die showing 3 ,
8-sided die showing 2,
Focus 10-sided die showing 5,
Focus 10-sided die showing 2, and
X Swing 20-sided die showing 13

OK? but your opponent has

4-sided die showing 1
12-sided die showing 3
12-sided die showing 1
20-sided die showing 15
X Swing 20-sided die showing 18

In the original (the two dice with value 1 were shadow dice, but that gets in the way here, so I'm changing it.)

OK, so there's no doubt you're going to turn both focus dice to 1 to get initiative. But the question I want to pose is -- does it make ANY sense to take the 20 sided die showing 15 over the 20 sided die showing 18? This may seem like a no-brainer, but I was momentarily caught up short by some arguments for it...
