Steve:

If a character has a Penetrating Killing Attack against a non-Hardened target, does the BODY damage that Penetrates equal the total pips on the dice, or 0 Body for every "1" rolled, 1 BODY for every "2-5" rolled, and 2 BODY for every "6" rolled as if you are calculating BODY for a Normal attack? I read it as being equal to the total pips on the dice, but my fellow players disagree.

Example: Tachyon fires a 2d6 RKA Penetrating at Defender. The die rolls are "2" and "5". Does Defender take:
1) 2 BODY
2) 7 BODY
3) None of the above, we're all idiots and should be playing AD&D

Help us, Obi Long Kenobi, you're our only hope! :confused:

Obi Long Kenobi, LOL. ;)

Take a look at the third question under "Penetrating" in the Rules FAQ. That should clarify things for you; if not, please post a follow-up.
