Message: <blockquote data-quote="Asmor" data-source="post: 5043166" data-attributes="member: 1154">I'd disagree a bit... The damage you do is fairly static. Weapon damage + characteristic score (str or agi). The results you roll can modify that a bit, but usually don't add more than a few points of damage and I don't think I've seen anything that reduces the damage you do.On the topic of dice, I think it's helpful to assign each die an 'expected value.' For example, fortune dice have 2 successes, no failures, and 6 sides, so an expected value of +1/3. Misfortune dice are the opposite, and have an expected value of -1/3.Here are the expected values for each die, based on the faces you listed above (which look right enough that I don't feel the need to verify). If you actually want to use this info in play, I'd recommend just memorizing the success values. That should be fairly simple.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Characteristic d8 (Blue): +.5 success, +.25 boon</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Challenge d8 (Purple): -.75 success, -.375 boon, +.125 chaos star</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reckless d10 (Red): +.6 success, +.3 boon, +.2 fatigue</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Conservative d10 (Green): +.7 success, +.3 boon, +.2 delay</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Expertise d6 (Yellow): +.4 success*, +.33 boon, +.17 sigmar's comet</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fortune d6 (white): +.33 success, +.17 boon</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Misfortune d6 (Black): -.33 success, -.17 boon</li> </ul>*My statistics is a bit rusty, so I'm just estimating the effect of the righteous success (which explodes) as a +.07 to the successes on the expertise die. I suspect that should be reasonably close, if not perfect.In general, any characteristic die (including stance dice) is inferior to a challenge die on a 1:1 basis. A conservative die is almost enough to cancel one out.</blockquote>
