What's more important?

Should the universe be more concerned with my d6  showing 6 or my d10 showing 3?

OK, which scares you more -- d10 stinger or d12?

Doesn't it depend mostly on context? If my  Shadow d20 was still around with a moderately high roll,
I might care more about the stinger -- but how likely am I to be the victim of a stinger-abetted skill attack this round?

Select an attack:

there's no question which die should MAKE the attack

But do you gain more by taking the focus d4 with value 1  or the d20 with value 4?

Berserk Dice...

Remember, Berserk dice (A) don't count for initiative, (B) can't perform skill attacks and (C) when they perform berserk attacks, they are replaced by a normal die of half the number of sides (rounded up)...

first off, do you agree with our choices of swing dice? [note that I lost round 1 and kept my 30-sided berserk swing die for round 2. F had a 20-sided berserk swing die from the beginning and has not yet had an opportunity to make a change.]

Secondly, do you think I should do a berserk attack here?
