War of the Ring

If I change a die with an Elven Ring, must I use that same die for the action?
The designer's later view is tentative ('most probable outcome') and the rulebook does not settle it.

Probably yes, but it is not firmly settled. The designer first said you must use the changed die, then reversed himself: changing a die is not itself an action, so you may change one die and spend a different one. He called this only the 'most probable outcome', which would allow tricks such as turning a die into a Character result with a ring and a card. The rulebook text ('about to take an action ... change the Action Die') does not settle it, and some tables still require using the changed die.
