The Riddle Game wrote:Riddling attempt. Playable during the site phase on a character at the same site as one of opponent's companies. Tap the character Opponent chooses a character from his company to play the riddle game. Each player makes a riddling roll (or draws a #) modified by +2 if his character is a sage and by +1 if a Hobbit (re-roll ties). The player with the highest result wins. He then names two cards and the other player reveals his hand If any of the named cards are revealed, they are immediately discarded.

I wonder about the
re-roll ties-part in
The Riddle Game. What happens if I played
Wit on the roll and a re-roll is necessary. Do I get +3 to the second roll, too?

Wit only modifies one riddling roll. No others. A reroll is by definition another roll.

I disagree.
Like in case of Lucky Strike, we don't have two rolls in two strike sequences, each modified separately. It is a one roll, only that player can choose better result.
In case of TRG it would be worded "discard and repeat tied results" and it would have the same meaning as "(re-roll ties)".

In Lucky Strike we have two rolls in one strike sequence. It says so on the card itself. By no stretch of the imagination can you call two rolls only one roll.
Wit does not modify a riddling attempt, it modifies a riddling roll, and only one riddling roll. If your roll modified by Wit results in a tie, you and your opponent re-roll, but that roll has not been targeted by any modifying effects.

"re-roll" does not must mean "make second roll", it may mean "repeat [the same] roll".

Possibly, but that is not my interpretation.

If the re-roll were some new different roll, then the bonuses for Hobbits and Sages would not apply. It should be obvious that this is not the case because then it would not be a
re-roll.

I agree. The players are re-rolling the
same roll as before, meaning that all the modifications still apply, including Wit.
