Some time ago, I bestowed a max damage potion on one of my fighters. He was a size 7, and the results didn't exactly match with the current damage chart, so I thought I'd share this information with the community.

The fighter, as I said, is size 7. He was already at 17 ST when I used the potion (started at 14). This took him from Good to Great damage right away. The following is when he got damage bumps:

20 = Tremendous
22 = Awesome
23 = Devastating

That's as far as I've raised it to date, but from everything I've heard that's the damage cap for a sz7. We shall see.

I'd be happy to add my information to this list, if I could just hit a flippin' strength train.

I'm curious if this means that the potion made the Damage rating like a Size 15 warrior or if the Terrablood chart is simply incorrect?

It seems that a SZ 7 warrior is limited to a max damage rating of Awesome (or possibly Devastating if blessed) under normal conditions according to terrablood. I'm trying understand if this is simply "skewed" because of the potion or if the chart is in question?

Chart is skewed due to numbef of entries

It means that Max Damage potions produce out-of-bounds results at the top end.

7 SZ/25 ST should produce Awesome damage most of the time, and Devastating the rest of the time. With the max damage potion, this combination got Superhuman damage. I suppose their might be a 1 in 10,000 chance of a natural warrior getting Superhuman damage with that ST/SZ combo and that's why the program provides that rating as the 'max' for that SZ.

Congrats to Buri on his new Superhuman damage warrior! I hope he gets to hit some ABs with it.

Did he say it wasn't an AB? If its not, then maybe this is the solution to the AB dominance in ADM! Now, we just need to find a few dozen of those potions lying around somewhere. Wouldn't that be a cool treasure to find?! Where's my metal detector? =)

I always viewed potions as being in glass so you would need to invent a glassdetector

Indeed, this fighter is a Lunger. The problem with the ABs is you still gotta hit 'em, and even with way above Archmaster Attack, that doesn't always work.

Sadly LUs can't hit the ABs at the top of the game even with Blademasters in Attack.

That just seems wrong. Wish that somehow the original DM programmers could "tweek" the code to fix this issue. Even at the highest levels, there should be room for an equalizing luck-factor, not to mention a style-max levelizing. Why should a max'ed out (all 25's and all skills) warrior of any style always be better than other styles? For example, a top Basher should have a shot at beating any other style (even AB), as long as the favorite weapon and rhythm is used and they have better luck-rolls. The same for any style. It seems that those fights should be settled mainly based on luck and better strategy choices.

It's a little discouraging when I sit back and let the reality of the real-world situation come back into focus. I know that the original coders aren't around anymore. I know that even if they were and some changes were made that many would probably not be happy with the change. However, I also know that much RSI revenue is lost due to this unfair style bug at the higher levels. Why should a non-AB fighter, either in regular play or in tournaments, spend money when they know they don't have a remote chance at winning? Honestly, I didn't mean to turn this into whining or ranting, but I really believe the game would be a lot more enjoyable with these corrections.

(Not sure where that all came from, but I feel a little better after my "spouting". I'll take my "kettle" off the burner and cool down now... Smile. )

My max damage prize is on a sz 5 ST.
24 Strength and 5 Sz has gotten him to devastating.

The Terrablood damage chart isn't applicable to max damage pot modded warriors. This thread is right on with SZ 7 topping out at Superhuman. You will see similarly odd results for warriors at other sizes as well. SZ 21 maxxes out with Unearthly damage with a damage pot.
