I think it would have been better to determine some shared ground basics and work from there, rather than try to understand my motives from the very begining.
Hi Filip,
In relation to that HP thing, I was thinking either a banking system or the bonus is applied to multiple rolls. Banking, as in use the bonus now or save it up, being able to accumulate up to eight points that you can spend at a tactically appropriate time to get a +8 bonus.
Or the player just describes one attack approach for the whole round and that bonus is applied to all the attacks in the round (here, that's four attacks). This makes it higher stakes, even a +1 is like a +4 spread over four attacks. It also has no book keeping like the above idea. But a negative is no experimentation - the player can't try a new approach on each attack, if the old approach didn't work out well. Kind of pointless to roll one attack at a time then, may as well roll them all at once (perhaps I'm being silly, but was trying to keep with the tradition of doing one attack at a time).
Just spinning some ideas.
