Re: [BNW] New Trick - Opinions, Please

I think when you say less bang for your buck, you are understating!  I think 
this is a little TOO toned down.  The average number you will roll on a dice 
is 3.5 (well equal times of 3 and 4 to be exact) so I think giving the Trick 
a mere +2 to damage is kind of selling the trick short.
