I've come up with several alternate dice methods that I have yet to fully try out:Method 1:Always roll 3d20.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">After rolling the dice, drop the highest die and the lowest die. Use the remaining d20 for the result.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Under "Advantage", drop the two lowest dice and use the remaining d20 for the result.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Under "Disadvantage", drop the two highest dice and use the remaining d20 for the result.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Critical hits (and misses) are obtained as usual, but at least two dice must roll a 20 (or 1).</li> </ul>Method 2:Replace the d20 with 2d10.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">After rolling, add the two dice together to get the result.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Under "Advantage", add another d10. After rolling, drop the lowest die and add the two remaining dice together.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Under "Disadvantage", add another d10. After rolling, drop the highest die and add the two remaining dice together.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">To keep odds of rolling a critical hit similar to standard d20, change the critical hit number from 20 to 18-19. Have a 20 be something extra special like free advantage with next attack as well as critical hit damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Conversely a critical miss is achieved on a 3-4 with a roll of 2 being something especially heinous.</li> </ul>Option: Combine this with the Proficiency bonus as bonus die option from the DMG, although this will most likely necessitate a change in the critical hit/miss rules.Method 3:Always roll 4d10.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">After rolling, drop the highest die and the lowest die, add the remaining two dice together for the result.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Under "Advantage" drop the two lowest dice and add together the two remaining dice for the result.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Under "Disadvantage" drop the two highest and add together the two remaining two dice for the result.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Critical should be achieved on a final result of 18-19 with a final result of 20 being extra special.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Conversely a critical miss is achieved on a 3-4 with a roll of 2 being something especially heinous.</li> </ul></blockquote>
