[QUOTE="Longshadow, post: 2183670, member: 19626"] I use variations on the M&M rules for a lot of different things, and I've cannabilizaed materials for play from across the d20 spectrum. What I've found works best for converting dice of damage to a damage bonus is as follows: (1) Assume that the d6 is the "true" translator of damage. 10d6 = +10, 6d6 = +6, and so on. (2) Dice types modify by simple addition and subtraction from the total number of dice. d4= -1, d8 = +1, d10 = +2, d12 = +4, d20 = +8. (3) So, 2d6 = +2, 2d4 = +1, 2d8 = +3, 2d10 = +4, 2d12 = +6, 2d20 = +10, and so on. Gives me nice, reasonable and usable damage bonuses. It also matches up well with the actual weapon bonuses from the M&M books. Using some sort of multiplier , in my experience, usually winds up with damage bonuses converted that dwarf the already listed ones in the source material, or grossly overpower converted items from particular settings -- "Hahaha! I converted my 11th level Sorcerer over and he just wasted the Hulk and leveled a city block around the sorry bastard in the process! YES! Dance for your new master, little monkeyboys, or feel my wrath! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" :] [/QUOTE]
