\subsection{What the Dice Mean}
You might think of the dice as representing random chance in the environment. Just how irritated is that person you're trying to question, and how creative is that craftsman feeling today? Dice are never re-rolled for different results on the same action because once the dice have told you what the situation is, the situation stays put.
+}{
+\subsection{No Rerolls}
Characters attempting to change a Standard Action into a \gls{restingaction} do not reroll but rather keep the same roll and turn one die up to show a 6, because while spending more time on a task can be very useful, sometimes the environment simply tells you `no'.
+}%
Such a do-over still suggests initial failure; it just means that the character is trying over and over again until a better result is obtained.
+Actions cannot be attempted multiple times with rerolls unless the situation has changed notably.
