Negative DMG Effects...

[Blackfoot]

Is it possible to have NEGATIVE Damage Dice Effects?
It doesn't seem like it... or am I looking at this wrong?

There is no support for negative dice modifiers in the existing effect systems I have built. I specifically excluded since they introduced other complications, but I don't remember exact details. It's been a couple years.

If you ever have a free moment (which I don't expect) and are curious what the complications were, I would allow be interested in why you decided against that ability to remove dice with effects.

It probably wasn't a decision, it likely just didn't come up in the rulesets he was working on, it isn't impossible to do, I've got it working now in my Champions Ruleset. It is an issue for me because I can drain abilities and powers which can lower damage dice values.

Oh.. it's plenty complicated. Not so much for 'normal' dice.. but when I get into Killing or other sorts of complex damage... it gets kinda ugly.

There are a few things now that I am thinking about it again.
* It's more complex, because you need to track "negative" dice vs. "positive" dice throughout the rolling process.
* You have to be concerned about negative vs. positive results more for different roll types
* I believe that you would have to define a new set of "negative" dice for each die type.

I'm not actually 'rolling' negative dice... I'm just using the effect to remove dice from the roll.

It was more of a response to Nickademus about why I chose not to support "negative" dice at the moment.
