if I use empower spell and I get something like 10.5 or 19.5 do I round that damage up or down?

The rule in D&D is, unless stated otherwise, you round down.

That said, most of the times I've seen people use Empower, they just add dice rather than multiplying, though this really only works with even dice amounts (add one for every two).

Plus, it's just fun to roll a fistful of dice.

Round down.

Though I normally roll the normal amount and multiply by 1.5.

so what if I get an odd number like 11.5 do I round the damage up or down, or if I use the method of multiplying dice and the number of dice is 11.5 do I round up or down?
