Strike

Each of the 6 targets rolls a saving throw: roll 1 twenty-sided die and add +5 (the target's relevant save bonus). The damage roll itself happens once and applies to every target — what varies per-target is whether they save or fail. Compared against DC 15: a total of 15 or more succeeds (so the d20 needs to land on at least 10). Damage rolled is 8 6-sided dice. On a fail, the target takes the full damage; on a success, they take half (round down). The same 8d6 damage roll determines both — a fail-then-save scenario isn't 'roll again', it's 'take half of the same number'.

Want to compare 8d6 save +5 DC15 t6 against another expression? ↦ Open the comparison tool — paste this in as one side and an alternative as the other.

Why some expressions kill faster than others with the same mean is the kind of thing the concepts pillars work out — start with variance and kill probability if this strike's distribution looks surprising.
