[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8694751, member: 6801228"] He's self-concious about it, so I won't be making it worse by videoing him (plus we tend to play at his house, where he has small kids) But we were once playing a game with a much heavier re-roll mechanic. He spent Five re-rolls.... and all of them were 1's. Rolling 1 six times in a row? And that was just the worse time, his luck is normally very bad, it is... very noticeable. I would say the dwarves don't, because they run into the same issue as the halflings, but I find the fighter and barbarian very much less because it isn't required, or I guess, it isn't their defining trait. Courage isn't the first thing I think of when I think of barbarians, rage is. And even their rage is often reflavored into mystic trances or a hyper-bullet time. Some fighters are courageous, some are cynical, there is no weight to that description. I also don't mind the heroism spell, because it is the name of a spell.
