Have the Damage Expressions from Page 42 Been Updated?

[Stoat]

I know the skill DC's from page 42 have been updated several times, and an updated version of them is in the Rules Compendium.

Were the damage expressions also updated? If so, where can I find the updated versions?

Attached you'll find the update pdf with the info you want; it's on (IIRC) page 40.

You can look at the excellent chart that Mike Shea put together at his site
Sly Flourish: D&D Tips for the 4th Edition Dungeon Master

What's interesting is that the damage expression update no longer differentiates between traps/hazards which make single-shot attacks vs. ongoing attacks.

I'm trying to find a way to reconcile this with the DMG 2 info on trap/hazard design.

While these fine gentlepeople have given you the info, the official source is in the D&D Essentials DM Kit's book on page 108.

Single-shot traps are probably best treated as minions.

Notes on new damage expression format, since this confused me at first:

Low damage expression: Multi-attack powers, Artillery
Medium damage expression: Most standard attacks.
High damage: Brute AWs.
Limited: Encounters/recharge powers.

Does the DM book in the DM Kit have the new Monster Math in it?
