Editing Damage (section)

==== Creature abilities – variable I<sub>5</sub> ====
The final variable capable of increasing total damage is I<sub>5</sub>, which denotes creature specialties from [[Cavalier and Champion|Cavaliers and Champions]], [[Dread Knight]]s, [[Ballista]]s, [[Cannon]]s{{-wh}}, [[elemental]]s, and creatures that [[hate]] each other. Dread Knights may deliver [[Death Blow]]s, which gives variable I<sub>5</sub> a value of 1.00, effectively doubling base damage (though not necessarily total damage). The I<sub>5</sub> variable is also 1.00 for a ballista or cannon{{-wh}} whose shots deal double (base) damage, and 2.00 for cannon's triple damage. Additionally, there are a few creatures who [[hate]] each other, which gives I<sub>5</sub> a value of 0.50 when they attack each other. This is true for [[Angel]]s and [[Devil]]s, [[Titan]]s and [[Black Dragon]]s, and [[Genie]]s and [[Efreet]]i. Although [[Fire Elemental]]s and [[Water Elemental]]s, as well as [[Air Elemental]]s and [[Earth Elemental]]s do not hate each other, they also do double base damage against each other (i.e., I<sub>5</sub> = 1.00). Finally, unless they are attacking [[Pikeman and Halberdier| pikemen or halberdiers]], the jousting specialty of Cavaliers and Champions lets them deal 5% extra damage for every hex they travel during the combat turn in which they attack their target:

<big><code>I<sub>5</sub> = 0.05 &times; squares travelled</code></big>
