So the 25+100 force would roll 5d6, multiply the result by 5, add 100, & count each 6 as 5 sixes for spite.<br /><br />I'm cool with the STR requirements for weapons in principle, but the bit about tiring yourself to death if you persist in using them leaves me cold.Markhttp://www.midcoast.com/~ricekrwc/zefrs/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-45313801731363983412011-02-11T08:07:13.205-06:002011-02-11T08:07:13.205-06:00I can't help myself.

One of the weird litle things about MR's is that the actual MR score tends to be about the average you roll using the MR's dice + Adds. So sometimes you can just look at the MR and use the score as the total dam, instead of rolling. You wouldn't want to do that all the time, depends on the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-86112647851556602312011-02-10T22:04:04.492-06:002011-02-10T22:04:04.492-06:00@ckutalik: I think it was Planet Algol.
