Does defeating a monster with an item or spell count as completing a task for that roll?
Posts are split on whether a defeat counts as the roll's task, and the rulebook does not say.

Contested, though the better reading is yes. The defeat counts as completing the monster's task, so the roll is not a failure and no die is discarded. Since only one task can be completed per roll, the same dice cannot then finish a second task. A minority treats the defeat as an extra action that leaves the roll intact.
