simplygnome Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I am using Fred. Can someone please give me the page number, house rules, or description of how people determine the odd d6 variants. for example when something does 2 1/2d6 or (more importantly) 2d6+1 (+4, etc). Thank you (for more particulars, Im building a drain on 75 AP MAX, but I have +1 in advantages (so divided by 2 total)....thats 37.5 cps. So at 10pts a 1d6, thats 3d6 + 4??? ) Thank you...

Old Man Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Re: D6+1??? I think you're looking at it wrong. A max AP of 75 means that you get 3d6 Drain with +1 1/2 in Advantages. I don't believe there are +pips with things other than Normal and Killing Attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra 2.5 points are wasted. :)See 5ER p. 114 for a table listing the partial die increments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplygnome Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Re: D6+1??? Thats all I really needed to know. Then again, if normal and killing attacks can have pips, why CANT others have them?? Meh, either way I got my answers.... Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Re: D6+1??? They exist for all attacks. The progression goes as follows: 1 pip 1/2d6 1d6-1 1d6 1d6+1 1 1/2d6 2d6-1 2d6 . . . etc. The pricing for +1 pip, 1/2d6, 1d6-1 and 1d6 are stated in 5ER.

Was going to use it to put an order payment on FH and Ultimate Martial Artist...for the rules on how to make MA attacks). Anything in normal 5th about it????

For a Drain (which is normally 10 points per D6), 3 points gets you a pip."She's a pip!" - Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester in "The Addams Family";) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that 1/2d6 and 1d6-1 were effectively the same, point-wise. Same cost, and the same DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Taylor Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Re: D6+1??? Anything in normal 5th about it???? No but there is in the old rules FAQ. Go into the Powers section and use the search function in your browser to look for "What are the standard costs of half dice for Attack Powers?"
