[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 3101538, member: 14506"] [SIZE=4][B]Sadrik’s Simplified Damage Save System[/B][/SIZE] [CODE][B][U]Converted Damage[/U][/B] D2 +0 D3 +1 D4 +2 D6 +3 D8 +4 D10 +5 D12 +6 D16 +8 D20 +10[/CODE] Damage Difficulty Class = 10 + Converted Damage + Possible Strength Modifier + Feats or Other Modifiers. Example 1: a 10d6 fireball would be a DC 40 damage (10 + 3x10 = 40)or reflex for ½ at DC 25 damage (10 + 3x10/2 = 25). Example 2: an 18 strength great axe wielder would be DC 22 damage(10 + 6 axe + 6 for 2-handed 18 str = 22). [B][U]Calculate Damage Resistance Save[/U][/B] DR Save = Constitution modifier + Armor Modifier + Feats [B][U]Non-Lethal Damage (Stun)[/U][/B] [I]Stun[/I]- Creatures have half their hit die type + size bonus + their BCB stun. Multi-class characters average their hit die types. Example: a medium sized 1st level fighter would have 8 stun (5hd + 2size + 1bcb). [I]Non-lethal Damage[/I]- If a creature fails its DR save from non-lethal damage it takes 1 or more stun. See the damage chart below.

Additionally, if a creatue takes half or more of its maximum stun total in one hit it becomes stunned. The creature must also make a constitution check DC 10 + its current stun or become unconscious [I]Unconscious[/I]- An unconscious creature can take no actions and is helpless.

Armor does not add to armor class it adds to DR saves. Energy Resistance: Half it and ignore up to that much damage from that damage type. Damage Reduction: Half it and ignore up to that much damage unless they have the correct damage type. Hardness: Add it as an natural armor bonus that stacks with other natural armor Creatures without a con score: ignore non-lethal damage, have a DR bonus equal to ½ their hit dice. Cure minor wounds: heals 1 stun or automatically makes a heal check. Cure light wounds: heals 2 wounds and stun, save for half (vs undead), also remove the disabled and unconscious conditions if they bring a character back to positive wounds. Cure moderate wounds: heals 4, Cure serious wounds: heals 6, Cure critical wounds: heals 8, and Heal: heals all wounds and stun. Inflict spells would do the opposite, save for half. [/QUOTE]
