Paul Beakley Cool, maybe we should have done so too. Maybe it’s like you asked yourself in the last post, that the RAW mechanic works better when the dangers of DPs are properly talked about and understood by the whole group. However, me and a friend couldn’t resist testing a rules tweak. This is only tested in a short session, not really enough to properly evaluate (he only pushed the roll once). The rule was influenced by your idea, but somewhat different and with less “rich” dice.
The rule:
The player can pray to the icons to re-roll dice that hasn’t come up on a 6. When this is done, first note how many 1s the player has rolled in the original roll. After the re-roll, the game master gets DPs equal to the total amount of 1s rolled.
I thought, somewhat naively, that we could do away with the different colored dice, but it’s probably too easy to roll 1s on the first roll, thereby making re-rolling less attractive if all of them generates DP. At least that’s what I think I saw during the session. Oh well! I hope you continue playing Coriolis. Great AP-write up as usual!
