About this converter
The Gloomhaven Brute hits in a tight band. Most starting attacks show 2 to 4. Spare Dagger, Provoking Roar and Sweeping Blow sit at 2. Warding Strength, Leaping Cleave and Skewer sit at 3. Shield Bash and Balanced Measure sit at 4. Overwhelming Assault spikes to 6 but the card is lost after use. Devastating Hack at level 4 shows 5. Higher levels add riders, not just raw numbers. Push, Stun, Disarm, Pierce and Muddle change what a hit does. Shield values on the target then cut the total. Attack modifiers from the deck swing the final by plus or minus 2, with null and double as outliers.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Overwhelming Assault against Spare Dagger throw to see the 6 to 2 gap. All rows use Attack, so the unit stays fixed. Click any table row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Attack numbers are printed top or bottom values on Brute ability cards, before modifier draws and Shield. Loss cards leave play after use and stay noted. No card here includes item or perk math. Target Shield and poison are applied at resolution and stay out of these base rows.
