Kra'vak Railguns III

OK Schoon, Mark; here's the average damage spread for the multidie RGs:

Range to target
        0-6     7-12    13-18   19-24   25-30
        (2+)    (3+)    (4+)    (5+)    (6+)
RG-1    0.83    0.66    0       0       0
RG-2    1.67    1.32    0.5     0.33    0
RG-3    2.5     1.98    1.0     0.66    0.16
RG-4    3.33    2.64    1.5     0.99    0.33
 - Roll die equal to class (range as per beams, -1d per 12"), target as
PTs. Each hit inflicts 1 point.

Hmmm.... This actually gives a worse damage spread than beam weapons, esp.
without using doubling. Oh, well. Back to the drawing board.

That doesn't take doubling into account, which would get it back in the
ballpark I suspect.

Schoon

I had each hit inflicting only 1 point of damage. I'll do it again with each
hit inflicting damage=railgun class. Range to target
        0-6     7-12    13-18   19-24   25-30
        (2+)    (3+)    (4+)    (5+)    (6+)
RG-1    0.83    0.66    0       0       0       (1pt/hit)
RG-2    3.33    2.64    1.0     0.66    0       (2pts/hit)
RG-3    7.5     6.00    3.0     2.00    0.48    (3pts/hit)
