Questions about calculating combat damage.

Post by Yxven »

I'm wondering which combat skills to build characters with, and the information I've found regarding swords vs fencing for melee type characters is inconsistent with regard to which does the most damage. Hence, I decided to figure it out myself using the formulas on http://www.uosecondage.com/stratics/combat.html.

The trouble is the formulas are incomplete.
  1. We have 3 percent modifiers to base damage (anatomy, strength, and tactics). Do you add them together and then multiply them against the base damage, or do you just multiply them all?
  2. When we halve damage at the end, how are we rounding? Flooring? Nearest whole number?
  3. The magic weapon damage bonus adds at which point during the formula?
  4. What's the formula for calculating damage healed by bandages including interruptions?
