Greetings fellow playgrounders.
I experienced something novel today: on a new online campaign, the GM houseruled that to roll miss chance "in a single roll with the to-hit", I'd declared odd or even, and if the d20 was what I called, then it was the good outcome (so a miss, since the situation at hand was me having displacement)
I of course picked even, and after session I pointed out that such a way to incorporate one less roll is not really fair, since it basically gave me heavy fortification for free AND removed that 5% chance of always being hit. So we're back to normal percentile rolls :)
But this got me thinking, I'm curious to see what other "table rules" people experienced about how you roll things.
The most common I know about is probably the one of rolling the attack and the damage together.
As a side note, anyone got some idea how to incorporate the miss chance on a single roll whike the distribution remains fair?
