The Champions Damage Table

The damage table was born after several particularly slow combat-intensive sessions. Since then I've used it every Champions game I've run, and every Champions GM I've given copies to has also given up rolling buckets of dice in favour of it. The slight loss of the extremes of damage it gives is more than balanced by the vast increase in speed it gives.

It is easy to use. Instead of rolling however many dice, roll 3d6. Go down the left-hand column until the total rolled is found, then read across to the column corresponding to the number of dice of damage being done, and there it is, in the form of STUN / BODY. The table only goes down as far as 7d6 due to problems with the statistics of calculating the outcomes for 6d6 or less. For more than 20d6 of damage (hopefully not needed too often!), just add columns to get the number of dice wanted.

Obviously the table is mainly designed for normal damage attacks, but it can be used for large attacks of other types.

It did occur to me that the HTML table isn't much use to those whose Web browsers can't handle tables (although they are getting rarer and rarer these days!), and is also a bit of a pain to download, so there is also a plain text version of the damage table, which hopefully solves these problems.

Use and copy either version of the table freely, but please keep the authors names with it if you do.

Anyway, here's the table. Enjoy!
