"DAMAGE DICE" "AVERAGE DAMAGE" DD

Weapons have a damage roll of xdy, as if you had rolled x number of y-sided
dice.  The formula for average damage of a dice roll is ( (y+1) / 2 ) * x.

For example:

Sword 4d6 = four six-sided dice   = (7/2) * 4 = 14
Mace  3d4 = three four-sided dice = (5/2) * 3 = 7.5

Hitroll and damroll bonuses from a weapon are added to your total hitroll and
damroll.
