Damage Roll

You usually make your own dam-
age rolls, and the GM rolls for NPCs.
Damage rolls are expressed as a num-
ber of dice, sometimes with a modifi-
er; e.g., “6d-1” or “1d+2.” A negative
modifier can’t reduce damage below 0
if the attack does crushing damage, or
below 1 if it does any other type of
damage.
High-damage attacks may express
damage as a number of dice with a
multiplier. For instance, “6d¥3” means
“roll 6d and multiply the total by 3.” If
those six dice came up 21, you would
do 63 points of damage. This is just a
quick way to roll lots of dice.
The result of the damage roll (after
any additive or multiplicative modi-
fiers, as explained above) is the hit’s
“basic damage.”
