Damage Formula

A successful attack will inflict 8 base damage plus 1 additional hitpoint for each 20 warding margin (endroll - 100); a damage factor of 0.050. A successful cast will also include a crush critical injury with associated critical damage. Training in Mental Lore, Manipulation provides additional damage based on seed 1 of the summation chart but it is necessary to replace ranks with ranks/2 (see lore table).

8 Base damage + trunc[(endroll - 100) * .050)] + ML, Manipulation ranks/2 (seed 1) + Crush Critical Damage

Calculation Example

Total damage from the attack in the above messaging.

1. Endroll: 334
2. Warding Margin: 224 (334 - 100)
3. Crush Critical Damage: 15 (Rank 3 chest critical)
4. Lore Ranks: 0

8 Base Damage + trunc(224 * .050) + 15 Critical Damage = 34 Total Damage
