I was talking about cards that give extra VP when you roll a certain combination, like one of each die face. Why can't I use this card more than once per turn, if I can use some other card more than once per turn?
Presumably 'cause you only take dice results when you are done rolling. You roll the dice. Put some aside, pick some up and roll a second time. Then you put some aside, pick some up and roll a third time. Then you resolve the dice.
You don't, however, roll some dice, resolve the results, pick some up, roll them, resolve them again, etc. As otherwise, you could roll 6 energy, take 6 energy, pick up all the dice, roll them again, roll 6 claws, do 6 damage, pick up the dice, roll them again and roll 6 3's and get 6VPs. But that isn't how the dice work. You roll them till you are done rolling them, and then resolve the effects when you are done rolling them.
The card that says "score 2VP if you roll 1, 2, 3" doesn't (presumably) mean you can roll the dice, find a 1, 2, 3, score 2VP, and then pick them up and roll them again any more than the basic rule that says "score 1 damage for each claw you roll" means you can roll 3 claws, score 3 damage, and then roll them again. You roll dice till you are done rolling and then resolve them with whatever resolution abilities that are out there.
