Official Rulings (3)
If you use the second ability to roll two dice instead of one, any ability that triggers βwhenever you roll a dieβ will trigger twice.
If another spell or ability instructs you to roll two dice and use the difference, you can use The Big Ideaβs second ability to replace one of those die rolls. First, roll two dice and use their sum. Thatβs the first result. Then roll one die. Thatβs the second result. Then figure out the difference between those two results.
Some cards, like Chittering Doom, care about the results of individual die rolls and not the total if two dice are rolled together. For example, if you use The Big Ideaβs second ability to replace one die roll with two and roll two 3s, Chittering Doomβs ability (which triggers whenever you roll 4 or higher on a die) wonβt trigger.
