I think static number die and advantage works well but maybe a third or fourth would be needed... or maybe the dice should stack, or maybe not... it would take some testing to be sure. yeah, again I think it is brilliant, even if it is overused... but the fact that bless doesn't give advantage is a sign that you can make it work</blockquote>
