For example, a successful attack with a Dagger does a base of 1d4Piercing damage (1~4). This means a single four-sided die 
is rolled to determine the damage, for a total of 1 to 4 piercing damage. Most weapons use a single damage die, but some two-handed weapons use two: a successful attack with a Greatsword does 2d6Slashing damage (2~12), rolling two six-sided dice 
for a total of 2 to 12 slashing damage. Damaging spells typically roll more dice: for example, being caught in a will cause 8d6Fire damage (8~48), though a successful Saving Throw can reduce it to half.
