Like what you did with the weapon damage adjustments for transfering and calculating damage and level of weapon and such. I am wondering how you came to that formulation and would like to know how you came to such values.

Google form for commentary is not working though

The damage per hit is calculated as such:

Take a specific weapon family (such as the longswords) and calculate the expected damage per hit for each member (for an XdY weapon, the DPH = X * (Y+1) / 2)

Once you have all of the damage per hit values, you can use Excel to fit an exponential function where DPH = A * e^( B * (Item Level + N)). N is a specific modifier that I calibrated by hand to determine the relative impact of the different weapon properties.

Comparing the values of different weapon families helps to determine N for each weapon property.

Once you have this equation, it’s trivial to determine the DPH for a given level, and use the DPH equation given in step 1 backwards to determine the number and soze of the dice for that weapon.

Note: price is even easier since you don’t need to convert anything, but it’s still an exponential function related to the item’s level.

Ok, then how would you do the Unchained Monk Unarmed Damage?

PFSRD Unchained Monk

Level 1: 1d8

Level 4: 2d6
Level 8: 2d8
Level 12: 4d6
Level 16: 5d8
Level 20: 13d6

Monk unarmed attacks get the Analog, Operative and Archaic traits. At level 4 they lose the Archaic trait.
