Default Dice Silcer and Elf's Running Away

I'm an Elf and I must Run Away.
My Race ability give me bonus to my roll.
I use Dice Silcer.
Does the Elf's ability mean that I shouldn't discard Dice Silcer?

"After you roll the die" implies that any bonuses or penalties are applied BEFORE you use the Dice Slicer. But I'll check with the designer - Steve - to be sure that was what he intended.

FWIW, Elves don't need to be any cooler, so this would be my ruling anyway.

Any bonuses or penalties do not affect on Dice Slicer?

Unfortunately, I did not quite understand this answer:

We changed our answer because we rethought how we wanted Dice Slicer to work. Apply all bonuses and penalties to the die roll before using the Dice Slicer - if you use it, you get an automatic 7 (assuming the regular six-sided die) and then discard the Slicer.

Now I understand.
So it works like “one-shot” items (for the regular six-sided die).
Thank you!

If I roll 5 and apply bonus or penaltie to this before add 2, then it never be 7.
May be you mean "apply all bonuses and penalties to the die roll AFTER using the Dice Slicer"?

Dice Slicer looks at the actual numbers on the actual die, not any modifiers. The text is very clear on that point, and my answer stands as given above.
