I got into a short (friendly) debate with an RL friend regarding multidamage weapons and injury rolls.

I can't remember the stats of the shot and the targeted model but suffice to say I had a 3-damage weapon and his model had 2 wounds. He said the injury roll is just going to be one die because the 2-wound pool ate up the 2 in the 3-damage shot.

However, the way I understand it is, the injury roll should be equal to the damage **characteristic*** (ie, the damage stat) of the weapon. (For weapons with a random amount of damage the injury roll's number of dice should equal to the damage stat rolled.) So it should have been 3-dice injury roll. It has nothing to do with "remaining HP eating up damage."

I am confident that I am right and he's wrong.

Am I?

Thanks! ^_^

Injury dice are equal to the damage. Saves, feel no pains, number of wounds on the model, etc. don't matter at all.

A 3 damage attack which reduces a model to 0 wounds rolls 3 injury dice. Nothing changes that.

You're correct.

Also, by his logic then 1 damage hitting a 1 wound model would mean 0 dice...

this is all clarified on the official FAQ pdf file on the Warhammer community site

Thank you all! (Apologies for the late reply. I got sick.)
