[QUOTE="A'koss, post: 1971522, member: 840"] Where do you think I stole the idea... :D Thanks! Actually, I hadn't thought about flurry of blows... but your idea sounds pretty good. Continuing with the changes I'd look at making... Open-Ended Rolls... I've used them for a long time and love 'em. Anytime you roll d20 and get a N20, you roll again and add.
