Can't be a bad thing.<BR/><BR/>This system is incidentally better than, say, rolling twice and taking the highest. This results in both a higher average and a residual chance of a really low roll (e.g a 1d8 average is now 6.375, but a 1 will still be rolled once in 64 attempts).<BR/><BR/>So, all in all I approve. :)RoboGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979358871848745259noreply@blogger.com
