We're a little harsher than that with our Die rolling rules.

If it rolls out of the Dice Tray (built to help protect game components, table surface, and to keep people from bowling over all the little dudes) then its a re-roll, even if you like the result.

If the die goes off the table, then it automatically counts as the WORST roll possible for the roller. In LNoE that'd be a 1 for an attack or defence, or a guaranteed weapon break, etc.

This rule was made for one specific player we have that insisted on rolling each of the 8 dice in Betrayal at House on the Hill individually and from about 14 inches from the table surface because he was convinced that it would somehow give a better result.

Muahahah!

Ouch! Those rules do sound a bit harsh. LOL! Was the dice falling off the table a common thing for your group? We have it happen here and there, but not often enough to consider it a big concern.

Though, regardless of the result, we do figure any dice that fall on the ground are to be re-rolled. Our little house rule isn't quite that lenient. LOL! It only counts if the die/dice landed/land on the table. Then, if the result is good, it counts, if the result is bad it does not. I mean... heck, we need all the help we can get in Zombicide. LOL! We do use it in a lot of cooperative games, but it was Zombicide that caused our little house rule to be born.
