Re: That's a fast archer!
oh you mean 2/3's not .7
and no they not the same this. simply due to the 5 times table is much easyer to do in your head than than the 7 times table |

Re: That's a fast archer!
My not the same argument wasn't about rounding accuracy it was about ease of calculation. the 7 times tables actually hard enough that multiplying by 2/3 direct fraction math might actually be easier.

Re: That's a fast archer!
Multiplying by 1.5 for cutting damage is one step. Deciding how many attacks you want to make, then multiplying ST by (0.7*(Number of attacks-1)), then looking up the new damage, and applying the rules for Min ST, is way way too much to do as an Attack Option.

Instead of multiplying by 0.7 for 2 attacks, give -1/die. (The math behind it is: Average d6 is 3.5, average d6-1 is 2.5, 2.5/3.5 is 0.71) For 3 attacks, halve the damage.(0.7^2 equals 0.49, very close to 0.5) For 4 attacks divide it by 3(0.7^3 is 0.343, very close to 0.3333) For 5 divide it by 4(0.7^4 is 0.24, very close to 0.25) For 6 divide by 6(0.7^5 is 0.168, very close to 1.66) |

Rapid Strike: balanced weapon only. You must have 1.5x the min ST of the weapon. Damage is -1 per die (yes, this isn't identical to x0.7 ST, but whatever). |
