Abandoned

Since infogami has been abandoned by its creators, I’m out too. Back to web.fisher.cx for me. Everything that was here is there.

Classic D&D: Class based damage

If you register and log in you can add comments to my pages. If viewing the main blog page, click the # underneath an entry to comment on it.

In this variant, the damage a PC does is determined by his class rather than his weapon.

On possibility is to use a PC's HD type for his damage:

Cleric1d6
Dwarf1d8
Elf1d6
Fighter1d8
Halfling1d6
Magic-user1d4
Thief1d4

Some people feel this isn't fair to the thief. Perhaps thieves should use 1d6.


How about damage based on both class & weapon? Cross reference the book damage of the weapon with the weilder's class.

The current values are just placeholders until I think about this some more.

Maybe this is too complex?
