I don't think that makes sense to me, which means I might not be phrasing my question clearly. I was with you up until here: I mean, I get that 2x1.35=2.7, but would doesn't the math have to take into account the odds of both attacks hitting in the same round?

Let's say a D&D-esque monster attacks at +6/+6 and does 1d8 points of damage per attack, but that I want to have the monster attack only once, end up with same average damage per round, and then just describe the results as a flurry of claws, bites, whatever. What's the easiest way to convert...

It's Finnish.

A sarpashana, or poison eater, is an aggressive colony of disparate microbes that have mutated to excrete and survive within a protoplasmic medium. This creature appears to be a bulging, surging mass of blotchy, semi-transparent ooze. At rest, a sarpashana would just about fill a 125-cubic-foot...

Sasho leans against a tree, breathing hard and trying to staunch the flow of blood from his wounds. "Not an auspicious start to our career as story-worthy heroes, I fear." He holds up a trembling hand. "Ye gods, I'm shaking."

Cael growls, "You'll attack women and children? What else should be expected of murdering gravespawn, eh?" The ranger spurs his horse forward, trotting toward the village.

Cael growls, "Be as clear as you want, but do not mistakenly think you dictate terms."

I'm leaning heavily toward solutions more related to FATE than railroading, especially since I'm going to go intergalactic sandbox with my next campaign. I'm gearing up to be content sitting and GMing nothing much until the players decide what they're going to do. I want them to give me the plot...

Good idea, MatthewJHanson. I'm going to ask/require (;)) each player to provide me input regarding NPCs. One ally, one enemy, and one neutral per player. Something to that effect. I'm also looking at getting hold of Microscope for the players to create a shared, group background for their PCs...

"Ha, ha! Have at thee!" Sasho lunges toward the goblin battling Garrick, thrusting madly with his short sword while tangling his feet in underbrush. "Ack! How ungraceful!" the gnome criticizes himself aloud. Attack and Damage: 1d20=13, 1d6+1=6

Sasho grits his teeth against the pain and fear, lunging with his short sword, hoping to feel the crunch of metal against bone. Attack & Damage Roll: 1d20=17, 1d6+1=5

The ranger grinds his teeth and grips the reins tightly. Tension is visible in his body. Unconcealed disgust glows in his eyes.

I'm still lurking around. Busy, but lurking. :)
