[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 5991417, member: 46713"] I'm not sure what the goal behind this change is. Is it that you want to roll less often? The reason I don't like your variant is that it will lead to more 'nova' rounds for the monsters. If you'd like to ensure that the monster has a high chance to recharge 'something' every round, you'd have to choose disjunct number ranges, e.g. recharge the tail attack on 2, 3, 4 and recharge the breath weapon on 5, 6. If you want to keep the chance for nova rounds three needs to be at least a partial overlap, e.g. recharge the tail attack on 3, 4, 5 and recharge the breath weapon on 5, 6. Personally, I prefer it if a monster has a way to get a guaranteed recharge of a power in addition to the normal random recharge by succeeding (or failing) at a particular action, e.g. whenever the tail attack fails to hit at least one target, automatically recharge the breath attack. I am also not fond of using different dice types for recharge abilities. I think if you feel that a d6 doesn't give you sufficient granularity, you should rather always use a d12 instead, double the normal recharge numbers and adjust them by +/- 1. [/QUOTE]
