Its also embarrassing when there are people in 3rd world countries who use Higher math than Differential Calculus.Dungeons and Dragons helps people work with their arithemetic.  To help mathematically challenged players to get up to speed, however, Sudoku and other games like it can help improve their math skills.  IT also doesn't hurt to take a refresher course once in a while as a community education.here's a simple series of Modifiers:Maximized Fireball cast by a 7th level sorcerer.  DC 31.-16+5+5+5+3+7=25-16= +9  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
