    Steel Squirrel can get bonuses larger than +6/+6 due to modified six-sided die rolls or d20s.

  • WotCJan 19, 2018

    The die roll caused by Steel Squirrel's activated ability doesn't have any effect itself, but other abilities (including Steel Squirrel's first ability) may care about the roll.
