Default Re: Looking For Less Frequent Luck

Sorry for the double post after something so massive, but an idea for a "Perk" kind of Luck that I think someone suggested elsewhere... what if you didn't get to re-roll all the dice but just one die? Probably just a single re-roll, once per session?

It won't guarantee anything (you've got a 1 in 6 chance of getting the same result), but it does allow you to avert bad luck or enjoy good luck, and in really tight spots like needing to roll a 7 to succeed but having the dice come up as 1, 1, and 6 you'd have a 1 in 3 chance of going from miss to critical success. It also could help out on damage rolls and the like.
