Under the DDO Hood [request]

[Ustice]

Hey Turbine folks. With all of the WDA talk and the like, one thing has come up several times that I think could be fairly easy to address, as well as add to the community greatly. There are a lot of use out here that are very interested in the systems that you have in DDO. We want to know what each feature gives in terms of bonuses and the like. It would be very helpful of you could give us a peak under the hood (so to speak) and let us know some of the stats and formulas used in different aspects of the game.

This info would not only help us provide better tools to the community, but would also help us locate bugs since we would know what is intended for something, and we could test it against the actual game. A lot of the info is available, but there are things that could be opened up a little further to provide details more in line with the PHB/DMG/MM. Things like damage rolls (which for Fireball is = level x (1d3 + 3)), durations of spells, attack speed progression, damage chains, etc.

Opening this up just a little bit more would not spoil the special sauce, but would allow us, the community, to develop tools and services that only work to promote the game.

Good idea. The 3.5 SRD does not compare well any more.
