    I mean, we have become really proficient with delivering damage locations building doom boxes to deal out up to 20 single points from an LBX and such. Doling out pulse laser damage wouldn't even make us blink. Though, yeah I get it folks want to scale back on classic as is.

    Yeah I think going away from 2D6 is gonna be a tough sell against tradition. On the pulse topic it’s always rubbed me the wrong way that they do all damage in a single location.
