Message:When the action says take highest then do so. When the action says take lowest you do so. Sometimes 3D6 on a table is a disadvantage. e.g., Barbarians in combat 2D6 or 3D6 for highest with Alter Cosmos. Barbains forced or selecting Magic is 2D6 take lower. Or 3D6 and take lowest, a penalty to do magic when Cosmos is Altered.
Also, you take high or low as directed, never what you want. Sometimes a roll of four two is good. But not as another die is a five.
The simple game has some clever balance. As you know, don't forget the Honing Stone in Middle Earth...what it does not do anything, an oversight. No, all is as designed!
Have fun.
