[QUOTE="surfarcher, post: 5312847, member: 84774"] Well now that's a great question and one I can't answer, off the top of my head. I'm going more on personal experiences than on maths and analysis. What I find is that upgrading the damage sections in the MB increases the challenge for my players and, for me at least, that's what it's all about. Oh I just rememberred saying "hit the green circles" isn't accurate. So here's a blow-by-blow account of how I do it...[INDENT] 1. Select your creature. 2. Click "Edit a copy" 3. Click the first action and, if it has a damage expression, do the following... [LIST] [*]Add a new attack. [*]In the new attacks' damage settings select the same Type, Dice Sides and Modifier values as the original. [*]Highlight the "Damage" in the new attack and copy it (CTRL+C) [*]Highlight the "Damage" in the original attack and paste over it (CTRL+V). [*]Delete the newly added attack. [*]Repeat for each action. [/LIST] 4. Repeat step 3 above for every action. 5. Click "Save and Exit". 6. Right-click your updated monster. 7. Select "Copy as..."->"Copy as Image" from the pop-up menu. 8. Paste into word-processor of your choosing. 9. Print and use as you see fit. [/INDENT]I've attached a before and after of our friend the Grell to show what it gives me. PS. Happy to work through this with/for you on this thread or via email. PPS. Just noticed the MB still has a bug where bits of triggered/free actions vanish in copies. Double check those to avoid surprises. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
