(TFT) Erol's smoother St damage table



  Here is my analysis of Erol's table "Damage as a factor of Strength".


         http://members.aol.com/erolb1/etan.html
           St: 1-3    4-6    7-12   13-19  20-29  30-59    +30
       Damage: 1d-5   1d-4   1d-3   1d-2   1d-1   2d-2   +(1d-1)"


        The chart listed in AM is weighted differently.
           St:            1-8
                            9-10
                               11-12
       Damage:            1d-4     13-19
                            1d-3      15-16
                               1d-2     17-20
                                   1d-1     21-24
                                      1d       25-30
                                        1d+1      30-40
                                            1d+2  40-50
                                               1d+3  50-60
                                                  2d+1
                                                  3d+1
                                                     4d+1

  And here are some sample monsters from ITL.

 2-hex dragon:             St 12, 1d
 7-hex dragon:                         St 20, 2d
14-hex dragon:                            St 24, 2d+2
        demon:                                                  St 100, 4d
 lessor demon:                                       St 50, 2d
        troll:                                    St 30, 2d
  small hydra:                                    St 30, 1d+1
 larger hydra:                                        St 60, 1d+3
     basilisk:           St 10, 1d
     elephant:                                       St 50, 2d
      buffalo:                                     St 40, 1d+1
          roc:                                    St 30, 2d
         lion:                            St 24, 2d
   chimpanzee:               St 14, 1d+1
giant 4-hex constrictor snake:                      St 40, 2d


Notice how their ST to damage distribution folows Erol's table closer than the one listed in AM. For instance, no where does the 4d damage show up execpt with the demon at St 100. That damage is correct on Erol's table but not the "official" one in AM. According to that all St 50 monster should do at least 4d damage, even the little one hex lessor demon. None of the sample monsters justify this heavy a damage at high St.

This year's award for "most significant improvement to the system" goes to Erol. Congradulations Sir!
