Yeah, sorry, I made a slight mis-calculation. It should have read 13 boxes
of damage, not 16. That's what you get for not thinking things through
before emailing them out :)

Actually, if you want to really follow through with the basic rules, the
first stage-up over Deadly should do 5 boxes, the next 6, then 7, and so
on. Hardly anybody will survive that, though -- I thought about that
method at first, but decided against it as being *too* deadly.

That's a lot more fun on the players if the alchemist just happens to
have got the formula the wrong way round :)
