Basically, I feel that any non-magical physical attack should always have a possibility of grazing a foe for 1 point. Only a magical weapon should be able to to do a minimum of more than one point. Using direct damage mods or multiple dice defeats this.<br /><br />(How does one handle strength mods to damage, if one is so inclined, you ask? Well, incrementing the damage die to the next highest one is an approach - for example, a sword might do d10 rather than d8 in the hands of higher strength combatant. There are other approaches, as well.)Angantyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583089145943203408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-36955567808753361842010-03-05T15:16:32.955-05:002010-03-05T15:16:32.955-05:00I like the d6-based damage.

So much that I'm toying with the idea of converting all B/X/LL monsters over to a single attack with Xd6 or Xd6+X damage.Lord Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100447170529010062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-52709665832799255092010-03-05T13:25:57.862-05:002010-03-05T13:25:57.862-05:00This is very nice.
