This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What if you use the Bonus Die from DCC for all 4 Core Classes, for Primary Abilities?

Warrior - Martial Combat.
Thief - Thief Skills, and Backstabbing.
Wizard - Spellcasting, and Rituals.
Cleric - Healing, Rituals, and Turn / Rebuke Undead Creatures.

Whatever things each class is best at: Their primary abilities.  Instead of using a flat BAB per level, as in D & D 3E forward; allow the Bonus Die Roll, which scales slowly with class level.  Let the bonus be variable like the d20 roll itself is.

I know that DCC purists will say you shouldn't do such a thing; but every edition and variant of D & D sees experimentation, or has mechanics borrowed and then applied to other games.  I'm speaking more to the latter.

In other words, an excuse to use some of those funky dice outside of DCC.

The d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d10+ progression would quickly get more people into the funky dice world.
