I'm still tempted to have people roll a d4 when they're using some kind of lethal force, anyway, on top of their action; Complications that arise should be vicious (Bullet Wound d6) and if you Take Out the opposition they're pretty much dead.<br /><br />Also, love the nods to ORE here, Rob. :)Cam_Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16162534181760938499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-31513955887716617502010-12-22T13:18:36.661-05:002010-12-22T13:18:36.661-05:00Rob, your larger than normal die but a d4 as well ...Rob, your larger than normal die but a d4 as well plan sounds similar to what I was contemplating for a guns rules in a more HBO, less TNT version of Leverage, where guns added a large die, but also some number of d4s.Arashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536961829640913987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-47279382445616538422010-12-22T11:41:06.318-05:002010-12-22T11:41:06.318-05:00Things to add d4s to other people are probably gim...Things to add d4s to other people are probably gimmicks I'd hook into other things (plot point or skill use). One model I very much like is abilities that allow a player to add a larger than normal die, but in doing so, they ALSO add a d4. We used that for our poorly trained mage, and it worked great.<br /><br />Broadly speaking, being able to get things for adding a d4 to the pool is good technology, just tangential to the stress tracks. <br /><br />-Rob D.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216103531396452644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-960463528930966812010-12-22T11:18:19.601-05:002010-12-22T11:18:19.601-05:00It'd also be pretty easy to slide a few of tho...It'd also be pretty easy to slide a few of those into talents as well.Dave The Gamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568427491720287020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-1683885136685579182010-12-22T10:09:30.688-05:002010-12-22T10:09:30.688-05:00If you are taking requests, I'd love to see St...If you are taking requests, I'd love to see Stress gimmicks that are focused around adding d4s to the pool to increase complications.Arashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536961829640913987noreply@blogger.com
