And don’t even get me started on the ivy border of the flag of the Elven court.

Hey, who’s that guy with the blackjack?

My players are much harder on themselves with hard fails than I would be.

It’s going to spin the chain at least a little bit.

It won’t spin the chain for long, but it’ll spin for long enough.

Even the pre chain brake saws I’ve used have been like this - you just have to be aware of where you put the saw when starting it.

Hot starts are another matter as they should fire up nicely on idle once warm.

I’ve had to do it manually on one though when it didn’t want to start otherwise.

It’s better to not know a rolls number in a situation like this. Very few players can roll play and ignore meta information like knowing they crit failed. It’s more fun to play the character in ignorance of that knowledge. Only the outcome.

Technically he should be fine but I would never want to test that theory out. For those who don’t know there’s a spot to put your foot to hold it down while you start it up.

Bad idea though because if it goes wrong lol
