Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iron Sheep" data-source="post: 818941" data-attributes="member: 4965">I use a "luck point" system, where a point can be spent by a player to get a free re-roll of any dice roll they make, I make, or another player makes (with that player's permission).I generally give 2-3 points per session per character (we usually play long, 8 hour sessions), the amount depending on role-playing, amusing the GM, etc.  I don't use tokens: the PCs keep track of how their points on their character sheets (I trust them to keep track).It does seem to serve its intended purpose of preventing dumb character deaths.  However, I've noticed two types of player behaviour.  Some will hoard the points, and not use them except in dire emergencies, while other players will spend them freely to avoid any bad roll (and then sometimes have to ask the people who hoard them to save their character from the critical hit they just suffered).Also, I've found that sometimes the players will bite off more than they can chew in combat, relying on their luck points to see them through.I'm also thinking that I may give some of my BBEGs luck points of their own to spend.Corran</blockquote>
