Maybe flanking can give you advantage on your damage roll?

That could work too. I'm hesitant about slowing the game down with extra die rolls (they add up!) but it would be worth testing.


The point is, I think, that they are trying to push bonuses onto damage and away from Hit rolls as much as possible. Anything that supports that would probably be a good fit.

Damage Advantage is really wonky and disproportionately rewards people with large weapons.  Since I think rogues (and their tiny daggers) should gain at least equal benefits from flanking I'm not sure this makes sense here.
