RoF isn't that good, TBH. You certainly don't get "3 or more attacks a turn" out of it unless you're doing very particular things.

The thing is, it's not 3 or more attacks. It's one attack that can hit multiple times...can. But practically won't much, because you need at least 2 margin of success for each additional hit.

Of course, you're focused on the 'what if the dice come up 3', and I'm not that worried about that because it's a less-than-2% chance.
