Martial Arts math

[Scott]

Each roll has a chance to deal extra damage, deal even more extra damage, do nothing, or ruin your whole attack (succeed, critical, fail, or fumble)


Martial Arts (Sword), no damage bonus (d10)

90% = +.9 average damage (81% chance of +1, 9% chance of +2, 2% chance of -4.5)
60% = +.435 average damage (54% chance of +1, 6% chance of +2, 5% chance of -4.5)
30% = -.03 average damage (27% chance of +1, 3% chance of +2, 8% chance of -4.5)

Martial Arts (Sword), 80 str damage bonus (d12)

90% = +.88 average damage (81% chance of +1, 9% chance of +2, 2% chance of -5.5)
60% = +.385 average damage (54% chance of +1, 6% chance of +2, 5% chance of -5.5)
30% = -.11 average damage (27% chance of +1, 3% chance of +2, 8% chance of -5.5)

Martial Arts (Unarmed), no damage bonus (d4)

90% = +.5 average damage (81% chance of +.5, 9% chance of +1.5, 2% chance of -2)

30% = +.012 average damage (27% chance of +.5, 3% chance of +1.5, 8% chance of -2)

Martial Arts (Unarmed), 80 str damage bonus (d6)

90% = +.49 average damage (81% chance of +.5, 9% chance of +1.5, 2% chance of -2.5)

Cool.

I did downgrade MA on purpose.

[Scott]

It would be cool if MA added more to Unarmed than it did to weapons.

Keeping the system simple.
