hi everyone.

me and my brother are discussing about how meltaweapons work then in half range.

my brother says you just add a dice without adding with the other so you get two shots.

i say you get 2D6 (you know, +'ing the two dices).

who is right?

This is a YMDC query.

Moving thread.

Nope.. melta weapons AP within 1/2 range is STR + d6 + d6. NOT Str + (d6x2)... NOR is it 2 hits at Str + d6 each..

-P

**Gwar!**

2D6 means you roll Two 6 Sided Dice and add them together. If it were 1 Dice times 2 it would be D6x2

And just so you know how to fish...

Page 2, main rules covers dice and spells out the 2d6 = d6+d6 bit.
