OK
Bear with me cause this is sick.
Now, you may remember in the movie “Fight Clubâ€, at the end they destroyed a number of buildings with a bunch of 55 gallon drums loaded with jelled gasoline.
So, I was thinking, how much would that be using HERO 5th Ed rules!
Looking at the Dark Champions rulebook, pg 259, I see the damage of jelled gasoline as a 3d6 RKA Explosion per 1 liter.
A 55 gallon drum holds about 208 liters (Thanks Google!)
So, lets start with the damage math first.
Would that mean a 624d6 RKA Explosion?!?!?!
Or maybe a more conservative, yet still insane 210 RKA (3d6 base + 1d6 per extra liter)
This is just an exercise, I don’t really intend on TPK’ing my gaming party with this.
After we figure out damage, we’ll tackle the Area of Effect of the Explosion, which should be interesting!
Thank you for your time,
