Or in this case, it is like scoring 50 points against a college team means you are twice as good as the person who scored 25 points against a pro team.In a white room, all HP may be the same, but in a real game.... some damage is more meaningful than other.But this raises other questions..You should check your macros, or possibly contact Roll20.  The Longbowman's dice are over 2 std dev's from the expected value, so you are talking a 1.5% to 2% chance of rolling that well. The Crossbowman, is over 3.5 Std dev's from the expected value. Which puts it somewhere around 0.03% chance of rolling that well. The crossbowman was getting the equivalent of a +3.5 attack bonus from the Roll20 rolling algorithm.  So either there is something wrong, or he got really really *really* lucky.Some of the damage results look....interesting.But without information regarding which rolls were hits, or even how many were hits in total.... its hard to make any determinations of that data.But yes, with a base +12 attack bonus, and then rolling +3.5 over average, and aiming at low AC targets.... SS will do a bunch of damage.If you compare it to a longbow that isn't rolling as well, and is aiming at much tougher targets.... yeah SS will look a lot better.</blockquote>
