Does anybody know the formula for calculating damage in combat?

from Elemental Forums


As the title says, does anybody know the formula to calculate damage in combat? The most I have found is that when Attack is equal to Defense, damage is supposed to be around Attack/2, but nothing else.

Max Damage = Attack * (Attack / (Attack + Defense))

Min Damage = Max Damage / 2

Thanks for this!

But does this mean you can only cause either min or max damage, or is the min/max the low/high range of possible damage scores?

Anywhere between the min and max for damage values.
