Hrm...10/32 times, at least 1 epic PL is destroyed.If you reduce the damage one step (either by extending the x1 damage area one step below as well, or any equivelent variation) you change it to 3/32. At 3/32, the average damage an epic PL can expect to get is better (roughly x3), and it's more of a gamble ("I only have a 3/32 chance of losing my epic PL, so I can keep on trying and trying and hope to get lucky"). That sounds interesting and a bit more sensible (I have a good chance at hitting them once and then running, but little to no chance of defeating them in a prolonged assault).In the end, I'm not sure and I'll wait for more opinions.</blockquote>
