My inclination is to put the dice in the players hands as much as possible. My personal preference is the opposite. Role before roll. Dice are used only if the situation is not clear.

Protection from Evil: 1 turn per level not 6 turns. Shield: 5 rounds + 1 per level not 2 turns. Sleep: 5 rounds per level not (4-...
