... before I kill you Mr. Bond...

Should I take G's 20-sided die or the 12-sided die? My usual preference is to take the 20-sided die now, to prevent it from rolling too high for me to recapture -- but I have a decent chance of denying it any captures next turn, don't I? What's best?

Which reroll helps me the most?

I have no way of taking G's d20with value 19, so it's clear I should take the d20 with value 12. But how? Should I use
my d20 alone since my other dice have relatively large values and I have a 5% chance of rolling a 20? Or the d10/d19 skill attack? or the d4-d8-d19 skill attack?
