Move Object Damage

[Trainz]

Hello,

In Star Wars Saga, the description of the Move Object power is listed as thus:

UTF Roll 15: Medium Creature (2d6 Damage)
UTF Roll 20: Large Creature (4d6 Damage)
UTF Roll 25: Huge Creature (6d6 Damage)

What happens if I pick up a Storm Trooper (Medium) and slam him against the ceiling with a UTF roll of 25, does he take 2d6 or 6d6?

Is there a FAQ or Errata online that clarifies this ?

Thanks in advance!

The way you described it, we would have called it 2d6.

Whatever the in-game justification, the metagame point is this: You cannot declare intent to lift a smaller object, and then opportunistically treat it as if it were larger just 'cause the dice roll high. If you want the higher damage, you have to declare intent to try for it, and thereby take the higher risk fo failure.

That's quite an interesting take on it. Thanks Umbran.

Nice to see you by the way, I think the last time we chatted was over 10 years ago.
