The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship · Board game rules

Can I spend extra rings on the final search roll?

Quick answer

Yes — any characters present at Mount Doom can spend Resistance symbols to reroll dice on the final search roll, just like any other search.

Details

The final search roll for destroying the One Ring follows the normal search rules: roll 1 die for each Nazgûl and shadow troop present, plus 1 die for each hope missing from the hope track [p.12 — Fellowship / Destroying the One Ring]. As with any search roll, characters who are present may spend Resistance to reroll a die, and after rerolling once, additional Resistance can be spent to reroll again [p.20 — Rolling Searches].

The "Fate" search result also lets any characters present reroll 1 die for each Resistance they spend, which functions the same way during this final roll [p.11 — Results].

Watch out: There's no limit stated on how many times you can reroll as long as you keep spending Resistance symbols — but each reroll still costs 1 symbol per die, and you can only spend as many symbols as you have available in hand or as tokens.
