Of what I understand from the whole thing. A weapon's maximum damage is 2
times the number listed in the stats plus one. I find it very odd that your
minotaur axe does 18 damage unless you somehow have something that adds one
more point. According to the game model, strength determines where in the
range of damage a weapon is capable that you tend to hit. A weak person will
tend to hit around the 10's with the axe whereas a strong person would
frequently connect with 17's.
Good Journey,

Question about your formula for dps... And maybe it's a question about
damage in general... : )
(damage*2)+1 Where'd you get the *2? Doesn't STR get factored in there
somewhere? I am extremelly curious about this as I am probably over
obsessive about Stats. : )
If someone could break down how my Mino Axe with a damage of 8 does 18 max
damage for me, I'd appreciate it. :)
I have a base strength of 95, going as high as 112 with buffs and equip.
