For now, I'm not worrying too much about this because I'm focusing on mechanics, but some of the weapons in Planet Mercenary have multiple forms of damage, resulting in a large block in the table, and I figured I'd poll for opinions.



I know from one of the topics (I don't know the URL off of the top of my head) that the table rows can't have a variable height, so the option of just making it multi-line and auto-sizing doesn't seem feasible. Anyone have thoughts on it? Maybe set up something where I can display something like "Multiple" for over-size entries and do a tool-tip to display the actual values in the table (if not automatically, providing a "small" damage field that's displayed by default if present)?

I know that I also don't need to slavishly follow the tables in the book, but I'm kind of hazy on how I might balance out the large damage blocks with the ones that are essentially "2d6".
