Nice concept, but is +- 1 lucky enough ? How about allowing the player
to
re-roll the result in question if he doesn't like it ? If your SDN
rolling 20+
dice at close range has a batch of 1s and 2s (it happens) then use up a
luck
point at roll the lot again (all of them mind - even the 6s). This means
that a
player can take a chance on making things better, but then again things
could
always get worse ...
