In Reply to: Rolls and Avg. Damage? posted by Curious on March 15, 2000 at 12:58:34:
From what I have found your best bet is too look at ave damage first. Then look at the plus hit dam. There are some nice swords at low levels that have high plus dam, but very low average.
for example, and this is taken from memory.
That claymore you mentioned is probably around ave 12 or so, but plus 5 dam.
A jewelled broadsword is ave 20 plus 3.
Therefore the jewelled will do on average 23 points of dam. The claymore 17. And that is just the average.
Maybe that helps, maybe not. We will see.
Dont flame, I am at work again and have no way to verify this, so it is just an estimation.
