Cool Spell DMG Calculator V1.6 final

Hello Folks,

based on this Post: The *NEW* Magical Damage Improvement Review

I have made this little Tool: http://ddo.warbread.net

You need to select the Spell from the SpellList-Dropdown, followed by the selection of your Items you are carrying. The Spell-Damage List will be calculated in the following way:

* Based on the Caster Level, the Base Damage of the Spell will be calculated.
* Pick your desired Spell Damage Amplifier Enhancement (SDA), for the Calculation. Auto assums that you always have the maximum Spell Damage Amplifier Enhancement (SDA) avail to your Caster Level.
* The following calculations for critical, maximize and empower are based on the Spell Damage Amplifier row.
* Pick your desired Spell Critical Amplifier Enhancement (SCA), for the Calculation. Auto assums that you always have the maximum Spell Critical Amplifier Enhancement (SCA) avail to your Caster Level.
* This are the Formulars
o Crit = SDA * SCA
o maximize = SDA * 2
o empower = SDA * 1.5
o max/emp = SDA * 2.5
* Additionell Damage per selected Item will be on top of this
* The Number in () represents the avarage Damage scored.

For Damage per Spellpoint (DpS) calculation, the same rules apply as above. The formular is as follow:

* Total Damage (Base + Amplifier + Feats + Items) / Total Spellpoints (Base + Feats)

The average Damage per Spellpoint calculation simple shows the avarage Damage of the Spell in relation to the DpS.

If you find any Bugs / Errors / Logical miss Calculations, pls post it here!

Any kind of feedback will be welcome

Update:
spell list sorted
integrated new damage calculation
integrated spell level / caster level dependence
created customization / localization / css design
fixed scorching ray
max caster level implemented
got a few more spells in
created debug / review for spell list http://ddo.warbread.net/debug.php
SDA is not taken in consideration for all follow up calculations, if auto option
is not used (thanks to melanastere) - solved

Known Bug(s):

Downloads:
check http://ddo.warbread.net/download for small example
The control file is here > http://ddo.warbread.net/download/index.php.txt
The Spell Class can be found here > http://ddo.warbread.net/download/spell.class.php.txt
And the Spell List (beta) here > http://ddo.warbread.net/download/spell.list.php.txt


Thanks,

Tes

PS: why is the design so poor? Cos, u might want to implement this via
IFRAME in your website as well :?

Nice indeed

A few remarks: damage in DDO and PnP are not exactly the same. For example Magic Missile is 1d4+1 in PnP and 1d2+3 in DDO. Same for damage based on d6 dices. Usually 1d6 is repleced with 1d3+3

Also pay attention that there are some limitations to some spells. For example Magic Missile doesn't scale to level 20. It has a limitation of 5 missiles at level 9.

Also Max+Emp gives a 2.5 multiplier, not 3.

Then pay attention that the crit multiplier depend on items and AP Enhancement. It's not always 1.5.

Aye, changed Damage Dice from 4d to 2d+2 / 6d to 3d+3 and so on

Very nice indeed
You should add the damage amplification enhancement lines too, for elemental, energy, and force lines (with the critical ones).

The next Colum assums, that you always have the maximum Spell Damage Amplifier (SDA) avail to your Caster Level.

The Critical will be based on the assumption, that you always have the maximum Spell Critical Amplifier (SCA), avail to your Caster Level.

They are in

Why the maximum only. Someone may want to calculate with different levels.
For example I would like to see how much damage would my acid spells do if I take 2 levels of energy enhancements, and 1 or 2 critical enhancements.

I'm not saying that you _have_ to do it. It would be a nice addition for it to be a more versatile tool.

see update from today, 9.20 ->

ToDo List:
- clean up class / performance / maintenance / easier usage
- make SDA and SCA as selectable option
- create damage calculation > fix dice + fix bonus damage / level
- create customization / localization / css design
