Christopher Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I wonder how Variable Advantage affects the adding of DC to an attack, but I can't figure out how to put it into a single question. Asuming a character with: 30 STR 1d6 HKA, Variable Advantage (up to +1/2 worth of Advantages; +1) In a campaign in wich Endurance Advantages don't count for DC Calculation, but things like Armor Piercing or Penetrating do. Use 1: 1d6 HKA, VA set to "0 Endurance (+1/2)"; Adding 6 DC from STR Use 2: 1d6 HKA, VA set to "Half Endurance (+1/4)" and "Armor Piercing (+1/4)"; Adding 6 DC from STR Use 3: 1d6 HKA, VA set to "Penetrating (+1/2)"; Adding 6 DC from STR Would that result in: a) 9DC/3d6 for Use 1, 10 DC/2.5d6 for Use 2 and 10 DC/2d6+1 for Use 3 10 DC/2d6+1 for all (just using the flat +1/2, the highest that is possible inside Variable Advantage) c) 12 DC/2d6 for all (just using the +1 of the Varaible Advantage for the calculation).

Steve Long Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Re: Variable Advantage and DC calculation It’s Saturday night and I’m not going to run through a mess of numbers; I’m just going to give a basic answer and leave the rest up to you. For purposes of determining the DCs in an attack with Variable Advantage (and thus the effects of adding damage to it in various ways, and so on), use the value of Variable Advantage itself, not the value of the Advantages it can change among. For example, if an attack has Variable Advantage (+½ Advantages; +1), you use the value of +1 to determine the DCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Christopher
I wonder how Variable Advantage affects the adding of DC to an attack, but I can't figure out how to put it into a single question.
Asuming a character with:
30 STR
1d6 HKA, Variable Advantage (up to +1/2 worth of Advantages; +1)
In a campaign in wich Endurance Advantages don't count for DC Calculation, but things like Armor Piercing or Penetrating do.
Use 1:
1d6 HKA, VA set to "0 Endurance (+1/2)"; Adding 6 DC from STR
Use 2:
1d6 HKA, VA set to "Half Endurance (+1/4)" and "Armor Piercing (+1/4)"; Adding 6 DC from STR
Use 3:
1d6 HKA, VA set to "Penetrating (+1/2)"; Adding 6 DC from STR
Would that result in:
a) 9DC/3d6 for Use 1, 10 DC/2.5d6 for Use 2 and 10 DC/2d6+1 for Use 3
10 DC/2d6+1 for all (just using the flat +1/2, the highest that is possible inside Variable Advantage)
c) 12 DC/2d6 for all (just using the +1 of the Varaible Advantage for the calculation).
