You CAN add a house rule to decrease this to average damage if you're concerned with time in your game. I do this with extra attacks and their damage. Rollling dice is rolling dice. WHy create more rules to roll dice and waste the players time, when the added benefit of "chaos" doesn't seem to bode well for the players statistically. Fun wise "yay" everyone seems to love rolling dice, but I bet giving them an option of rerolling their initiative and telling them hey we can fit more action in with static initiative, will go over differently. Its one thing to see smiles on your players faces as you play its another thing to give them two choices weighing the pros and cons and seeing waht they pick. I' d bet the ranch that not all six would agree. The game is designed so each player rolls dice twice during combat, once for attack and once for damage. IN a good combat, they will only roll the damage dice 60 percent of the time. As for 6, your only plus is that it adds excitment to combat. My thing is that's the dm's job not some dice and extra player time. There are easier and less time consuming ways to do it. I "could" hide in a different place and scare my girlfriend every time she comes in the door, that certainly would add excitement to her life. Or I could present her with flowers and various other trinkets every day. If your combat is lacking excitement I've listed various options that don't waste the players time to do (which again, there is no getting out of whenever you're rolling extra dice). Because you're not just rolling the dice, you're rolling, their rolling, the Npcs are rolling and then someone has to track.... every round). I'd probably think it was a better option to just boost up the crit ratio  if i "have" to lend myself to game mechanical crutches to increase the fun factor of the game. \Raven I know you're a far better DM to result your players to the waste of time when your combats are already exciting enough (dino ninjas). I truly hope that in a couple days we are pulled into a room and youre sitting there asking us Freudian questions about this thread.</blockquote>
