#REDIRECT [[Damage#Damage Scale]]
==Overview==
The '''Damage Scale''' (also referred to as ''damage scalar'') is a form of comparing attacks across [[archetype]]s (usually at level 50). The base damage modifier of an attack is compared with the [[Blaster]] archetype's original damage modifiers of 1.0 for both Ranged and Melee, though Blasters have since been buffed to 1.125 for melee.
 
This is a player and developer created concept, not an actual game mechanic. What the game actually does is each power has a scale for the effect, and an attributes table that it pulls the value from; the damage scale of the attack is multiplied by the value pulled from the attribute modifiers table (determined by archetype and level) to get the actual effect of the power.
 
{{orange|Needs fleshed out further!}}
*Needs further explanations, including Melee_Damage, Ranged_Damage, and Melee_SSDamage and Ranged_SSDamage
:--possibly explain all that in another article and link it?
*in addition to majorly rewording the above two paragraphs
:--second paragraph was basically copy/pasted from Fleeting_Whisper's post[http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=13454262#Post13454262]
