Pathfinder Unchained / Simple Monster Creation / Step 9: Damage

Assigning Damage

Source Pathfinder Unchained pg. 241
For each of the monster’s attacks, cross-reference the total amount of damage dealt with its appropriate die size on the table below. This will assign a value of damage dice to roll plus a flat modifier to the damage. Use these dice and modifiers to roll the attack’s damage.

For example, if you have a CR 5 combatant using a weapon, its high damage value for a single attack is 11. If you give it a short sword (which deals 1d6 points of damage), you’d check the 9–11 row against the 1d6 column to get 1d6+7.
