Will you look at that, I actually straight up succeeded at a test!

One question, though: having taken the Aim action I could re-roll 1d20, but it's not clear to me whether I'd have to use the new result or not. The only mention of any such rule I could find concerns re-rolls gained by spending a Luck point, which do force the PC to accept the re-rolled outcome, but nothing general.

Basically, if I can decide to keep the original result I'll re-roll and hope for a 3 or lower so as to score an extra success (Tag skill!). If not, I am definitely not going to risk turning my success into a failure. 😛

In the absence of a rule, I'd say that you can choose whether to take the new result. The primary difference between the Aim action and a Luck reroll is that you spend the luck point after the roll, whereas Aim happens before the roll. Since you're investing the action without knowing you'll succeed, I think it's fair to say it should always have the potential to benefit, and not to punish.

Fair enough! The re-roll yielded a 19, so I’ll be keeping the original die.
