|
|
I'm loving the FCRRB. Question, though:
Rule 2D4c (FCRRB p. 18 ) states, in brackets, that "Any modified die roll greater than six is treated as a six".
Rule 4A4 (FCRRB p. 29) states (start of paragraph 2) "For 'hit or miss' weapons (...) a result of '7' or more is simply a miss."
These rules appear to contradict one another. _________________ "In Klingon Empire, drone launches you!"

So... does that mean that if you're only using Evasive then the modifed roll maxes out at a 6, but if there are multiple modifiers then the roll has no maximum? _________________ "In Klingon Empire, drone launches you!"

Phasers = move right on the chart
hit or miss = a modified 6 is an auto-miss
so if I fired a phaser at range 2 and rolled a 6 against someone who was using evasive manuevers I would move two brackets to the right to see my damage (because the die roll was modified by +2). On a Hit or Miss weapon it would simply miss. |

No, it means that the whole phrase about maxing out at six should be deleted and the process from (4A4) should only be used. _________________

That's good to know! Thanks for the replies. _________________ "In Klingon Empire, drone launches you!"
