[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 1764356, member: 326"] Hi woodelf! :) I disagree. Instead of rating the damage appropriate to d20 scaling they totally bent the rules out of shape. Thats all beside the point. The point is, in d20, (base) damage scales x1.5 per size category. In d20 Modern and Future, grenades deal 5d6 damage. That likely represents 125g (or thereabouts) of TNT. By comparison 1 Megaton is 11 size categories more massive. The damage should therefore be 48 times greater than 5d6. Whether the nuke damage is realistic or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the designers completely failed to be true to the system itself. Its fairly easy to fix the flaws inherant in d20 Modern/Future. Its just a pity that such flaws exist to begin with. Especially since you have to go to such physics bending limits to get 16d8 for 1 Megaton. [/QUOTE]
