Also they should only roll to hit once. It doesn't make sense for multiple to-hit rolls. It isn't multiple missiles or whatever being launched.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9449865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9449865.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9449919.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9449919.page GMT AoS style weapon in reverse, because excess wounds don't carry over. A battlecannon for example would have 2D6 attacks but only do 1 damage. I ran the numbers and this reliably does 2-4 wounds on targets with a 3+ save.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9450574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9450574.page GMT
So if something is Weapon D3 it'd fire 2 "shots", Weapon D6 is 4 "shots" and Weapon 2D6 is 8 "shots", still rolling to hit where applicable, representing the firer's skill at placing the blast; flamers etc. would still hit automatically, the only randomness they need is in to-Wound rolls and enemy saving throws.


This just eliminates added randomness, which IMO is never a good thing. Having random numbers of shots just means you can drop a tonne of points on a Shadowsword, only for it to fire a measly two "shots" with its volcano cannon, supposedly one of the most feared anti-vehicle weapons of the 41st millennium. Meanwhile your opponent gets jammy rolls for all their flamers.

The game is random enough without having a random number of random rolls to make!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9450677.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730118/9450677.page GMT
