So: ''' Between 3.5" and 4.4" ''' is remarkably specific. Why?

I felt that there needed to be a range for the wizard to shoot for. With the fighter and the assassin there is a clear “target”. Get close to the monster, but don’t touch it.

The wizard it was trickier, since they were at range with no clear “marker” to shoot for. I played with a couple different distances to shoot for, and settled on giving the wizard a 1inch range band to fall within.

also just realized that 4.4 is a typo on my part. Should read 4.5…

Speaking of subtraction, you might have been able to reduce the clock face to a hex and only use a d6 instead of also requiring a d12. Otherwise it's a neat little coin flicker/dexterity game.

ooh, I like that idea. I was trying to figure out a way to do a d6 for movement. I discarded the 2d6 idea since it would rarely result in a 2 or 12, and never a 1. I didn't think about the hex system.

If you wanted to make it a little less restricted, you could have the hex movement be relative to the rolling player, and just work through the players.
