[QUOTE="mlund, post: 5949635, member: 50304"] It's a bad idea to bandy around "It's just a guess" and "It's just an opinion" like there's no way to qualify any sort of quality between expressed opinions and speculative theory. Throwing a bucket of dice would be cumbersome (observable physical reality). We've seen a fighter specialized in Damage from levels 1-3, and we've had some additional talk about fighters leveling into extra attacks. We haven't seen fighters acquiring extra weapon damage dice yet. In fact, all we've seen is the Fighter acquire fixed bonus damage and that the designers want to give him extra attacks - nothing about bigger handfuls of dice per attack. The future isn't fixed, so 20dX damage isn't impossible. Heck, 5E could be scrapped tomorrow. It could happen. However it is generally less than productive to discuss worries over things that improbable when you already have evidence of mechanics going in another direction. The fighter might very well do the equivalent of 20dX damage at 20th level between multi-attack and bonus damage. I seriously doubt you'll be throwing twenty dice in a go for a damage roll. - Marty Lund [/QUOTE]
