And finally, here are two charts for the average damage dealt by opposed rolls, assuming a DX of 1. This first one rounds the averages to the nearest hundredth, while the second one rounds them to the nearest whole number.
As promised, here is the source code for the program I used to make all the charts except the difficulty chart. It is written in Python.
