Re: [HOE] Burst Radius/Damage question

The part of the seperate for all people with AV>0 I understand.  The
variables there are intended for those problems.  What I was asking was
there a rule of thumb for blast damage that comes up WAY less than what is
intended?  Also, what should be done when the 3rd or 4th blast radii come up
WAY WAY more than the first 2?  In other words, 4d20 does 8 pts of damage,
the 4d12 (the next blast radius) does say 8 pts as well, but the 4d10 does
40+ pts?   Should I just say "well, looks like the roof you were under just
caved in?"
