5e has that optional rule where you use Proficiency Dice instead of a Proficiency Bonus, so that +2 = +1d4, +3= +1d6, +4=+1d8, etc. You could do that with ability score bonuses and magic item bonuses too. A +1 could be a d2. No modifiers, just extra dice. Might be fun.

    I personally love the idea of dice opposed to static numbers. This was one thing I really liked during the playtest. The Proficiency Dice.

    I just realized you could shave about 8 points off all DCs and roll only proficiency+stat modifier and never touch the d20 again.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
