    Skill vs Weapon vs Attribute vs Luck
    Weylin, Fri, Nov 6, 2009, 12:26 PM

    This is a common debate among my group.

    Which is the main factor for damage (with D&D connection):
    1) the weapon itself? (die type)
    2) the skill of the person using it? (BAB and amount over AC)
    3) the strength of the wielder? (Str bonus)
    4) a large amount of luck? (die roll)

    I myself see skill as the largest factor.
