Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maidhc O Casain" data-source="post: 2530736" data-attributes="member: 29558">Combat Die RollingEach time your character takes a swing at an enemy, I'll need you to make three rolls.  Go ahead and make all three rolls every time you swing, that way if you hit we won't have to wait for your next chance to post to make your hit location roll or your damage roll.The first roll is 3d6, and is your to hit roll.  The second roll will be made if you either don't care where you hit your opponent, or if you are aiming for a general area (Head Shot, High Shot, etc.)  If you are just aiming for a general hit, roll 3d6 again.  If you are aiming for a specific area, look at the Combat Modifiers section on the left side of page three of your character sheet, and make the appropriate roll for the area you are targeting.  If you are targeting a specific body part (head, arm, vitals, etc.) just let me know and I'll take care of the rest.The last roll is for your damage, and the dice you roll will depend on the weapon you are using.  Weapon damage for your major attacks is listed on page three of your character sheets.Here's an example:Athelstan takes a swing at the attacking Mummy, trying to hit anywhere in the upper part of it's body (High Shot).Athelstan rolls 3d6, getting [1,4,3] = (8) to Hit Athelstan rolls 2d6+1, getting [6,6,1] = (13) Hit LocationAthelstan rolls 1d6, getting [6] = (6) Damage  (Matt, Athelstan's Flail does indeed do 1d6 of Killing damage -- I neglected to put that on his character sheet)I'll then determine whether or not the blow struck true, how much BODY and STUN damage was done, and any other effects (stunned, dead, crippled, etc.)If you're curious as to how this works, I'll be happy to explain it either in a post or on the phone.  I'll also be including a PDF of the HERO System Rulebook on the CD-ROM that everyone will eventually get.</blockquote>
