Variable Monster Damage

My group and I use this variation on damage in our campaigns. We weren't happy with the static damage that 13th Age monsters, so we converted it to dice rolls. This was a simple conversion.

We rounded down the damage to the nearest common die. We then would add the difference between the two numbers as a modifier.
This modifier is optional, but then the monsters you encounter will never be as powerful as they were before.
