A friend gave me a ton of Heroscape dice, so I have a lot of white dice as well as the original red and blue dice.   I am thinking of a house rule that would allow martial characters (barb, dwarf, etc.) to take aggressive or defensive stances and modifying the red and blue dice to represent the stances.    Red dice would have 4 skulls but only 1 shield and 1 eight arrows of chaos (my black shield) and the blue dice would have 2 skulls and 3 shields (+1 chaos symbol).   When they attack they choose a die type but will also use that die type to defend.

If I do this, I am thinking I will change to having monsters defend on white shields, as the aggressive stance could be too good when it almost guarantees killing a goblin or Orc.
