if it turns out we don't need your reroll on this, you'll still have it up your sleeve for the raider attack.

How would that work?

Like anything else, activation is just a phase during your turn, so your ability to reroll the die is in effect.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

How would that work?

The GM rolls the die, and you say "You made a bear! Undo it! Undo it!" And then she rolls again. But the roll was still a 5, so sadly, the entire population of Cloud 9 has still succumbed to a surprise bear attack.

Huh. OK, let's reroll that raider activation.

Eta: Oh, I missed the earlier edited post. Okay, I am all caught up on the bears and whatnot.

(By the way, you can also force rerolls of raider attacks with "Evasive Manoeuvres", i.e. the low Red cards. Not that it's necessary here, we can afford that viper.)

I think I only have 7 cards, btw. And I should be in Communications.
