Add to the threat pool one die per short rest, or three dice per long rest. Using ThreatWhenever the die comes up 1 for a player's attack roll, ability check or saving throw, the DM removes all threat dice from the pool and rolls those dice. Each 1 on a d6 generates 1 threat point, which must be immediately spent on one of the following<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add one hit dice to a foe’s HP</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Give one foe inspiration; each foe can gain inspiration only once this way</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add foes to an encounter; converting points 1:1 into CR this way</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Increase the CR of a foe by one; exchanging a weaker foe for a stronger one</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Give one foe a luck point; per the feat</li> </ul>Clearing ThreatThreat clears when players finish a dungeon, conclude an adventure, or reach a sanctuary.The change is to force the DM to use the dice in response to a circumstance that players always get a sinking feeling about - rolling a natural 1. This might have a good feel in play because obviously the more encounters players engage in between rests, the more likely a natural 1 will come up when there are not many dice in the pool. If players limit the number of encounters between rests, then it is more likely there will be a stack of dice ready to roll instead.</blockquote>
