Hi Guys,

Just a thoretical, the new FW riptide has a gets hot template weapon,

when in overwatch will i just roll a single D6 for gets hot then the D3 for Wall of fire or if its a 1 on the Wall of fire its a gets hot?

Many thanks

As it does not roll to-hit, roll a D6 before rolling the D3. On a "1" it wouldnt fire.

**kezwick**

OK didnt know if the D6 was a roll to hit (now looking at it its a roll of how many hit)

**nosferatu1001**

Nope, the D3 is the roll of how many hits you get, not aD6

On a similar note, if you fire the Phased Plasma-flamer as a Heavy 2 in Overwatch, do you generate 2d3 or just d3 hits?

Each template weapon generates D3, so it would only be D3 for the Phased Plasma-flamer.

If you had 2 of them, then you would have 2D3 (there has been some debate)

**nutty_nutter**

if it is a heavy 2 weapon it would generate 2 D3 hits as it is a template weapon that fires twice.

Wall of death specifies weapon, from memory. How many weapons fired?

**insaniak**

Yup, Wall of Death doesn't care how many shots the weapon normally fires. If it's a Template weapon, it gets D3 hits in Overwatch.

**BlackTalos**

As above, 1 weapon is 1 set of D3 for Wall of Death. Even if you have 5 shots.

Having 2 weapons, however, is 2 sets of D3, if the model can fire them normally (Walker, MC, or Gunslinger rule)
