You may reroll an attack roll that missed at the expense of the next attack you would make in the round. If you do not have another attack you can not use this ability.
I need to clean up wording but I think it gets the jest across. I'm feeling like it might be to strong what do you guys think
1 being way too weak 10 being OVerpowered as heck
So to make sure I understand, if you have iterative attacks on a full attack action, like... +16/+11/+6/+1, and you whiff your +16, you can give up your +11 to reroll the +16, then go on to the +6 and +1.
And you could not miss the +16 and remove the +1.
that is the jest of it yes.
Second Chance and Improved Second Chance are already feats.
3/10 not OP.
Hmm hadn't seen those before I think mines slightly better then those but gives me a solid idea of where mine stands thanks!
It heavily depends on how a PC acquires this ability. Context is important in game design.
Also, I refuse to give a number as it's not practical (nor encouraged) to assess the design quality of content in a numeric fashion unless the content itself deals with pure mathematics.

fair enough

I had to wonder why you want to joke about something like this rather than get the jist across. :) :) :)
Sorry! So now I want to be constructive to atone.
I actually tried to figure out the average bonus you'd get by tracing out a logic diagram of hits & misses and counting the outcomes & to-hit bonuses gained. And then I came to the conclusion that my wall of text was badly, badly flawed. So I deleted it all and leave that as a potentially useful exercise for the reader.
But I do have a constructive suggestion after-all: make this an ability usable only a few times per day. It limits some of the OP-nature. It also fixes trying to evaluate its usefulness against a variety of foes; obviously, the fighter will want to save it for when he needs it. At that point, every single use, it will be worth at least +4 to hit (perhaps +5). That sounds substantial to me.
What investment in feats would a fighter have to make to get, for that many times a day, a +4 or +5 to hit?
So, basically, if you miss, you get +5 on your next attack?
Is this usable once per round, once per combat, once per day?
Is it a feat, a class ability, a racial ability, a magic item, a spell?
Good feat if you have abilities which get put on a single attack. I like it
Hmm its would be a class feature trying for a Guy that never misses kind of thing. definitely had the gunslinger in mind for it. probably available at like level 8-10 I guess I didn't think about limiting it to a per day I was thinking at will. first attack misses try again that one misses try again kind of thing. worth about a +5 is helpful. although i suppose there is probably a really complicated formula that would have to be checked for every ac and hit combination to decide if its really worth it.
Thanks for input everyone.

I thought the usual spelling was: gist.
Regarding the opening post, I like the idea. I don't think it is overpowered, maybe 2 out of 10 on your scale.
