Another way to look at, though, might be that Stretchy changes the result of the die no matter what is on it, so forcing someone to reroll it with Psychic probe basically has no effect. It doesn't matter what it shows on the die face.. that die is what I want it to be, because of Stretchy.

Yet another way to look at is that Psychic Probe kind of "rewinds time", back to when the last die (the one Stretchy was used on) is tumbling across the table... the result of that die is just changed now due to Psychic Probe (well, a 5 in 6 change it's changed, anyway), but, since we're back to where that die just stop rolling I am back to the point where I can choose to keep that roll, or to keep rolling (if I have rolls left) or even use my Stretchy again to turn the reroll back into what I wanted it to be, or, even better, into a heart to destroy your Psychic Probe card! :devil:

Not sure I actually think either of those explanations are how it should be treated... I just like to be contrary. If you suggested one or both of those I probably would have countered with your original interpretation. :arrrh:

Anyway, unless we hear from the devs, I'd just say house rule it to whatever you want. Personally I'd go with my last example... it's just makes sense to me that if you are making me re-roll then I'm back at the point in time that my rolling stopped, and now I can finish my turn again by using any remaining rolls, using any cards, and then buying cards to end my turn.

"Stretchy" can only be used on your own die results not other players so Cyber Bunny cannot affect Gigazaurs "Psychic Probe" because its Gigazaur rerolling the die. Even though is Cyber Bunny's turn."

Not sure that I agree with that part (or disagree either, could just be me being a contrarian again)... but, the wording of Psychic Probe is "You can reroll a die of each other monster once each turn." Yes, you are rerolling it, but they are still the dice of each other monster... they don't become yours. Stretchy even words it as changing "one of your dice", not "one of the dice you rolled". So, it's still my die, even though you rerolled it, and I can still use stretchy on it.
