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.
