Blade Scenario 1 - Power Splice

The innate power that Baron Blade gets in his scenario #1 is Power Splice:

Unlimited If there is a scenario marker within range of 1 of your character, roll 3 dice.  Any dice that roll a 5 or a 6 count as successes.

The Scenario Powers setup says, "Upon getting a first success on a scenario marker, flip that marker away from its initial side.  Upon getting a second success, remove that marker."  If a Power Splice roll comes up 1, 5, and 6, does that count as two successes and remove the marker?  That's how we played in our opening game, but if I misinterpreted that I'd like to know for future play.

You did it correctly.

Thanks!  The other obvious possible interpretation was that no matter how many 5s or 6s were rolled, that action counted as a success, and two of those successful actions were required.  That would've required a bit more teleporting around to accomplish.

Where do you find the description for "Power Splice"?

In the scenario comic/writeup

It's a Scenario Power - one of the standard-sized cards that came with the game.

Ahh.... I see. Just was reading the scenario booklet and didn't realize about the cards! Thanks.

Hey, there are no dumb questions, right?

I'm grateful this got asked! I was having the same trouble so I came to the Internet looking for answers and here they are :)

I'm just getting everything set up and I'm pretty overwhelmed by all the new things to piece together for this game but I know once I play through it once I'll get the hang of it.

So thanks again for asking the same question I needed an answer to!
