Can both dice explode/implode?  If two 10's or two 1's are rolled, both would explode/implode, correct?  Not just one.
Thanks!

No such thing as a dumb question.

Yes, both dice can explode or implode. And if a die explodes/implodes, it can do so again and again.

Imploding Dice - A die implodes on a roll of 1. If the second roll made for the imploding die also results in a 1, then the die can implode again, and so forth and so forth. For some folks, this may seem slightly counter-intuitieve (and I have received questions about it - from folks who thought that the die should continue to implode on a roll of 10 for the second roll), but it was an intentional decision to have it work this way. I am not trying to see how badly the character's can mess up. It is enough that the chance of failure exists, and that it is there and that the system support the Snag Points (which are based on total below TN).
