WFB3 D2.3 – Summon lesser dæmøns for a Road to Power Campaign

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

In our upcoming Road to Power Campaign I rolled up a Slaanesh wizard with D2.3 – Summon lesser dæmøns - cool.

But...

The spells effect is "The caster summons a unit of 3D6 Lesser dæmøns. " 3D6 means:

#​	%​
3​	0.46​
4​	1.39​
5​	2.78​
6​	4.63​
7​	6.94​
8​	9.72​
9​	11.57​
10​	12.50​
11​	12.50​
12​	11.57​
13​	9.72​
14​	6.94​
15​	4.63​
16​	2.78​
17​	1.39​
18​	0.46​

with a mean result of 10.5 dæmøns.

This might be fine for a Fantasy Battles Game, but for small skirmish games... My opponents initial warband is only 12 models.

So I thought to change the number of dæmøns that can be summoned from 3D6 to the following:

Faction​	Dice Type​	Minimum​	Maximum​	Mean​
Khorne​	2d4​	2​	8​	5.0​
Nurgle​	d3+d4​	2​	7​	4.5​
Slaanesh​	2d3​	2​	6​	4.0​
Tzeentch​	3d3​	3​	9​	6.0​

I hope my math is correct.

This gives more reasonable number of dæmøns in relation to the warband sizes I think. Also, the max number reflects the number of the particular Chaos God, which I like.

What is your oppinion on changing the number of summoned dæmøns in this way for the skirmish Road to Power games?

clearly needs to be reduced for small army sizes..

so.. for Slaanesh, It's 3D6 normally, and you think 2D3. mm.. I would have been lazy and just halfed it (meaning 3D3s that would give between 3 and 9 with a mean of 6 does mean a few more summoned then your values but.. mm.. it just kinda makes sense to me to do something like Half the values more then... I'm not quite sure how you came up with 2D3.. might make more sense but not sure ^_^

I set the maximum to the number of the god, 6 for Slaanesh, then 2d3 made sense.

But setting the mean to the number of the god might also make sense...

ah, fair enough ^_^
