"Players Roll all the Dice" and M&M

[Michael Tree]

Of all the new variants in Unearthed Arcana, the simple "players roll all the dice" is my favorite, especially as a GM.

How would that work in Mutants and Masterminds? Players already roll their damage save vs. the power of the attack, but how could I reverse that so that they roll a attack power for damage vs. a static damage save?

Does anyone think this is a good idea?

You can actually find that option on p. 128 of M&M under "Damage Roll."

I've toyed around with "Players Make All Rolls" for M&M myself. It works fairly well, although it can lead to increased hero point spending (since there are more rolls the players can influence).

Isn't it deucedly handy to have the actual game designers around to answer your questions?

Man I love these boards!
