Here’s a great little dice-rolling system that brings some physicality to attack rolls.
Tinkering on a new combat system.
⚔️ DICE BIDDING - highest bid wins initiative
⚔️ DICE DROP - throw dice on a physical grid to determine strikes
⚔️ ACTIVE DEFENSE - knock away your opponent's dice with your own
