Scale Statistics

  • Total Steps: 55 (though you can infer the next steps from there)
  • Damage Range: 0 to 100
  • Average Range: 0.5 to 55.0

Notes

  • Range = Maximum possible damage - Minimum possible damage
  • 1d2-1 can result in 0 damage (minimum roll of 1, minus 1)
  • Multiple dice expressions share the same maximum values at different steps
  • The scale provides fine-grained progression for spell/ability modifications
