This is so close to an idea I had that I'll go out on a limb and break
from TFT to share it...

Why not only roll the three dice, with two of _those_ being color-coded
as the damage dice?  Why not?  Well, you would only do high damage on
high rolls to hit, and...

Waitaminute (I thought), you mean more-skilled characters would do more
damage?  AND the dice-rolling would be cut in half, as a bonus?  Hey, (I
thought) that's got potential...

You guys are to blame, you know.  When I found this list, I went and
read all the archives.  All your 'like this', 'hate this', 'what about
this'...  It bounced around my head until I had to DESIGN!!!

Now I've got 8 pages, charts, tables...  My gods, what have I become?! 
:)

But hey, I got 'to hit', 'parry' and damage in one roll.
