RE: [DL] Nimbleness and pace

["Jeff Yates" <jyates@primaryfunction.com>]

You can use supernatural trait on a die type less than twelve -- going from
d8 to d10 is more expensive in bounty the normal way (30 pts) than it is to
get 1 level of the harrowed power (10pts).  But since you can only have 5
levels in a harrowed power, you lower your possible score by starting
supernatural on less than d12.  I don't think anyone has brought up whether
or not you can spend normal bounty on a trait to boost the non-supernatural
side, after already having the super-boost (with intent of having the new
normal die type boosted supernaturally and the overall total increased).  I
don't remember this in the rules, and would probably disallow it in my
campaign.

I read the rules as each trait you add supernatural-ness to is a separate
power, and costs 10 points.  I think we agree there.
