-Here a few more ideas for making damage a little less predictable. Most of these rules favor the PCs, especially against
-low level [creatures](#chapter-22-creatures). Rolling dice and calculating totals can slow down a game, so the GM should
-use these rules only if the players are happy rolling more dice and doing a little extra maths.
-
--   **Weapon Die:** Additional polyhedral dice can be used instead of static [weapon](#equipment-weapons) damage.
-
--   **Weapon Dice Pools:** Some of the following forumlas use \"kh\" for \"keep highest\". For example, \"3d6kh1\" means
-    rolling three d6s, and keeping one result---the highest of the three.

--   **Attack Rolls:** For every 3 an [attack roll](#action-attack) result shows in excess of the target number, the
-    attack inflicts 1 additional damage. For example, if a PC attacks a level 2 foe with a target number of 6 and rolls
-    a 16, they inflict 3 additional damage to the target. Additional damage from [special rolls](#rules-special-rolls)
-    still applies as normal.
-
--   **Defense Rolls:** For every 3 a [defense roll](#action-defend) result shows in deficit of the target number, the
-    attack inflicts 1 additional damage. For example, a PC making a Speed defense roll in response to level 5 foe with a
-    target number of 15 and rolls and 9, they take 2 additional damage from the attack.
-
--   **Effort Dice:** Applying a level of [Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort) to damage increases amount of damage
-    inflicted by the attack by 1d6 (instead of the usual 3).
