[QUOTE="Selganor, post: 9335337, member: 1135"] I was a great fan of the random character generation in Sentinel Comics. There the dice rolled over. Not only did the die types determine the levels of the power/qualities (with d8, d8, d6 you got two with a d8 and one with a d6) but the dice were also used to roll on the table. For a d8, d8, d6 you'd roll all three dice and can then decide which up to two you'd use to determine the result of the table roll (if you rolled a 3, 7 and 5 you could choose between 3,5,7,8 or 12) Things like these could be features for wild mages who can somewhat control the way the magic goes wild. Or maybe 1d10 per spell slot rolled by the player for the "tens" and one (for the "ones") by the narrator. If high rolls are good and low rolls are bad, maybe require the player to take the lowest die for "difficult" situations or highest roll for "good" situations. Or add another randomizer like "if the narrator roll is even take the highest of the player's rolls, if it is odd take the lowest". The possibilities are endless [/QUOTE]
