No matter how many dice get rolled for the weapon damage, only 1 may be rerolled. It doesn't matter if 2d4 comes up with 2 4s. Only one of them would get rerolled. I would actually make it so that the total of these rerolls can't be more than the character's level in Fighter times 2. At higher levels, have a feat that allows them to reroll a reroll once per encounter.First level Fighter rolls an 8 for his longsword. He rolls a 6 on the d8, but he can only add 2 because he has one fighter level. Final weapon damage is 10, then you add bonuses.At level 12, he takes "Lucky Explosion". He's rolling his d8 and get 2 8s and a 2. Of the 24 points that he could get, he only got 18. He uses his once per encounter reroll from "Lucky Explosion" and rerolls the 2. He gets a 5, so his total bonus is a 21. Final straight weapon damage is 29, then you add bonuses. That would be nice on a crit.While I don't necessarily think that the Fighter needs to be improved like this, I don't really believe in telling people that it's going to break the game and be horrible or whatever else people mumble about. You have a good idea. Go with it.</blockquote>
