I have been thinking over the OSPA rule and feel that it would be easier if we could somehow split those definite skills like Block away from those that provide us with a safety net of re-rolls Pass. Dodge etc.

Obviously Traits are idiosyncracies we cannot avoid, It bugs me that a skill is viewed as something else. I would like to have a third Category of luck (although that is a bad name choice, suggestions welcome..)

Luck would include all those things that allow re-rolls Pass, Dodge etc.

Skills would be those such as Block, Shadowing, guard, tackle etc which affect how a dice roll comes out but will not allow that dice roll to be re-done.

Am I asking for too much? Discussion welcome after all, do you think it would be too cumbersome. I think it would lead to some interesting team choices and strategic skill decisions. It would smooth out OSPA as well because you could only use one luck (re-roll) per player action. :grin:

OSPA ... was a dream ... a nightmare ... please look into my eyes ... you are to completely forgot that you EVER heard the phrase OSPA .... it was a wisp of smoke, a brief sound barely heard then gone forever ... keep looking into my eyes .... yes, yes, ... good .... when I count to 3 you will never ever ever mention those 4 letters in that order again during your lifetime .... 1, 2, 3 ....

Easier said than done...Chaos Cup Final, last turn, last play, throwing for the winning TD, no team rerolls, had to use Pass, failed the reroll because I couldn't use Accurate!
Occasionally I still wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat!
More therapy required! :wink:

beer, try drinking lots of it. If in doubt about this tactic, drink some more.
