Re: Split Dice Proposal

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

Very true..hmmm.
A couple of options:
1) Declare it when it is your turn to act.
	a) Declare it before rolling it.
	b) I'm rolling 3 dice.
	c) 1 die will be for additional attack.
	d) 1 die will be for a precise attack on the first attack.
	e) 1 die will be for a lethal attack on the first attack.
	f) roll the dice and if you make the check, make your first
		attack at +2/+2, and the second at normal mods.
2) write it down in the action declaration phase.
	i.e. I'm using x dice, y of which will be for multi, and
	z of which will be for lethal.  Made a simpler by premade
	columns for each option, then just put a check in each
	column for hwo many dice you intend to use.
	i.e. 2 checks in multi column, 1 check in lethal, 1 check in
	precise.  do this as you 'locking in your action'.

Pros/Cons
1) 	-Simpler, a bit more intuitive, a bit faster.
	-Easier for people to change what means what at the time of
		attacking.
	-Gets confusing if you aren't practiced at it.

2)	-100% honesty.
	-possibly more time consuming
	-definately more resource consuming.
	-difficult to keep track of in fast paced games, and will get
	 	tossed out for option 1) then.

Bleh,

Wright
