Refunds and Failed Raises

When a raise still misses its target, Tenacity can return some of the spent Motes. Refunds require Refund on Tenacity Failure.

Automatic refunds

A refund fires automatically when the raised total still falls short of a known DC or AC. The target does not need to be visible to the player. When the roll has no known target, nothing fires automatically. A DC you reveal before the player spends counts as known. See DC Reveal.

Rerolls are not refunded.

Epic Rolls, Flash Rolls, and Monk’s TokenBar cards refund automatically on the same rule. midi-qol follows its own refund rules. See midi-qol Integration.

Refund amount

The refund is Failed Tenacity Refund % of the Motes spent, rounded down. It cannot push the actor past their maximum Tenacity. Automatic and manual refunds use the same percentage.

The Refund button

On a standard roll card that has been raised, you see a Refund button in place of Spend. Players do not see it. Cards from Epic Rolls, Flash Rolls, Monk’s TokenBar, and midi-qol have no Refund button.

The button works whether or not the raise succeeded. Clicking it returns the configured percentage and removes the button. It does not appear on a card that has already been refunded. If refunds are disabled or the percentage rounds down to zero, clicking it shows a notice and returns nothing.

An automatic refund shows a notification to whoever spent the Motes. A manual refund shows the notification to you.
