So for players, averaging their dice rolls over all scenes usually ends up average. The PCs are the stars here, so having average monster dice encourages a more level playing field...its less swingy to the players benefit (swingyiness is bad for PCs, good for monsters).For jaded Min/maxers (my homeboys Ive played with for decades) I always roll.For the 10 year old at encounters playing for the first time: average damage alwaysFor most others: average for levels 1-3, roll from then on out.</blockquote>
