The wMain tag group has a few "holes" in it that I'd love to see filled. For instance, there's wMain.17d6 and wMain.20d6, but no 18d6 or 19d6.

Why do I care? Well, I'm supporting a weapon whose damage can scale with level, starting at 1d6 and potentially going all the way to 20d6. Of course in order to do that I need to store the die size and number values in fields. I'd like to then use that to assemble a tag string like '"wMain." & field[abValue].value & "d" & field[abValue2].value'. But since not all of those tags exist, I must instead throw a string into the fixed-damage fields - which doesn't allow me to use the typed-damage fields. So I have to add more code to look for those bonuses and add them to the damage text, etc.

It would be way cleaner if I could just put together a wMain tag for 1-20 dice of any of the conventional die sizes. Pretty please? We can call that Christmas and my birthday.

wMain tags get translated into field values on the weapons. Could you not just set the fields value directly?

I could, if I wasn't a huge dope who completely failed to notice the existence of those fields...

EDIT: Actually, how do those fields work? Because I'm putting values in them and nothing is getting displayed.

EDIT 2: According to what I've found from searches I should be able to get results by manipulating the fields after Final/12000. Still nothing, even though the field values are getting set. The fields I'm setting are wRMainDSiz/wRMainDNum/wMMainDSiz/wMMainDNum.
