The spreadsheet I put together only computes Damage (6 variables)

AC has no effect on damage except in relation to an imaginary foe.

In order to factor AC into damage, one would have *at least* 10 variables:

Attacker's total to hit bonus
Attacker's total AC
Attacker's Average Damage
Attacker's Crit Range
Attacker's Crit Multiplier

Defender's total to hit bonus
Defender's total AC
Defender's Average Damage
Defender's Crit Range
Defender's Crit Multiplier

I could devise a spreadsheet to compute this but you'll notice that 6 variables creates enough permutations as it is . . . each additional variable increases the permutations by a factor of N-1 (where N = the number of variables)

I suspect that
