I’m not sure that I see what in the text prohibits Brendan’s interpretation. It was a randomly selected number between 1 and 4; and it was a legitimately randomly rolled number in the dice roller. There’s an argument around the selective choice of a favourable result from a range of outcomes so selected, but this is the peril of the wording of the rule as it was; it didn’t specify that a dice roll was part of the activation, or that the result of that roll had to be used.
