determining damage

[swobeas]

Hi!

I am not sure how to handle the combination of hit location rules together with a ranged killing attack with power advantage explosion.

If a hand grenade blows off right next to you, I don't think that there will be just on hit location taking damage, but applying the damage to all hit locations is far to powerful...

What do you think?

Thanx

The rules (or at least Rules FAQ) specifically indicate that you should use the Hit Location rules normally in this situation. IOW, just hit one location. Otherwise, Explosion and Area Of Effect become grossly over-effective for their cost.

But, as always, it's your game -- do what you wanna do! :) If you like the method you describe, and you don't think it will cause problems, go for it.
