[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7082620, member: 23"] Warhammer had exploding dice... but warhammer was different. Every weapon did 1d10 + something* damage. On a 10, you re-roll the to hit roll, if you confirm, reroll the d10 and add that to the damage (not the + something). If you roll 10 again, reroll damage (you only need to confirm once). We've never gone higher than 3 d10 of damage. This made for a *very* tense combat system, as heroes had 10-20 hit points (and after that started taking critical hits, which are things like being knocked out, lost an arm, stabbed in the lungs etc...). Behind the GM's table though I felt it forced me to pull punches :/ Edit: * the something was based on strength, used to go from 2-6 usually. The target also had a toughness (2-6) which would reduce incoming damage. Usually the two canceled each other out. Armor also reduced damage (1 for leather, 3 for chain, 5 for plate kinda deal).
