gilgamesh reacted to massey in Damage Cap for Realistic Weapons
Just keep in mind that "realism" is a difficult goal, and subject to a lot of interpretation. Characters in HERO have a lot of Body, and can buy it up even higher. A guy with a 20 Body may not be realistic at all when you consider how many gunshots/sword stabs he can survive without medical treatment. Sometimes it should be appropriate cinematically for a weapon to do much more damage than base x2.

gilgamesh reacted to Ninja-Bear in Damage Cap for Realistic Weapons
Why yes. (In fact there’s another thread talking about it.) it’s an old rule introduced in 2ed I think but has been around since I got into it in 4th. 6th now lets it be an optional rule though encouraged for “realistic”/Heroic rules, especially if the weapon has the real weapon modifier on it. Without it, an ogre lets say with 30 STR and picks up a sword for 1D6K with STR min 10 will do 2D6+1k (+4DC). The same sword in Giants hand which say 50 STR does 4DK+1 (+8 DC). With the rule, the swords maxes out at 2D6K.
