Increased Stun Multiplier question

[SteveZilla]

Steve, I want to be sure I understand this advantage and how it's used in the game. Normally, when determining the Stun damage from a KA, we roll 1d6 -1, with a minimum result of one.

 

But when a KA has one or more levels of Increased Stun Multiplier, do we still do the "1d6 -1, minimum result of one" before adding in the ISM?

 

This is covered in the old FAQ, but isn't expressly declared in 5RE's text for the ISM, and isn't covered in the new FAQ.

 

 

Thanks!

Yes, it is covered in the book. 5ER 194 says "subtract 1 as usual." 5ER 405 explains the "as usual" method, which indicates "minimum of 1." It'd definitely be a pretty lousy Advantage if one time out of six it didn't make the situation any better.
