Re: Split Dice Proposal

[Wright Frazier <khelek@ns1.cioe.com>]

When do you decide what dice will go with what?
i.e. in the planning action do I say I'm gonna roll 5 dice, 3 for +2
to hit, 2 for extra attacks?  And then announce it?

or do I plan to roll x dice.  Then when my action phase comes do
I split them up as I see fit?
