We're going to need a bigger Step table

[Sundahk]

Is there any chance you could post a bigger step table on the FASA site for download? I've been discussing the new rules with my players and one thing we've noticed in 4E is that with the Forge Weapon and +2 Steps (per extra attack success) damage, there is potential for huge Step numbers!

Here is the maths for our group's Outcast Warrior (5th Circle)
Strength: Step 9
Poleaxe (currently forged to the 3E max of +6, but with 4E could potentially reach +15, even higher with a thread version): Step 14
Crushing Blow Rank 5 (with Rank 5 Group thread attached): Step 10
Total base damage step: 33!

He hasn't managed to break the 40 barrier yet, but with the new rules it's only a matter of time before he does (creating some type of sonic boom when he does I imagine ). I remember the paper GM guide in 1E had a Step Table that went all the way to Step 100! You wouldn't have to make one that big, but anything bigger than 40 sure would be appreciated.

You know that is easy to do by yourself? There is a pattern for creating higher steps and it is recurring

[Sundahk]

Great! If it's that easy then you won't mind making one and sharing it will you Kosmit?

Work in progress, I will put it in this post after I finish

Cycle is:

2d6
d8+d6
2d8
d10+d8
2d10
d12+d10
2d12
d12+2d6
d12+d8+d6
d12+2d8
d12+d10+d8

Now just add an extra d20 after end of each cycle

We're all pretty deep in projects but if I can manage to carve out a bit of free time I'll see if we can get someone to put together a few pages of the tables and charts and get them added as downloads to the site.

If you want to step 80 i can provide it.

Bigger tables are always good.

But I'm more of the opinion that the bonus damage from a good attack roll should simply be added to the damage test result, not change the Step value.

[kosmit]

It was supposed to be like that (adding bonus dmg to result )
