As a brand new TROS player, I wonder a bit about the Damage Tables. The Regions for swung weapons are only listed as for Cutting weapons, but what about all the other swung weapons (mass weapons primarily) of Blunt and Piercing types, like the Maul or the Warhammer???
Do we just use the same table for all types, remembering all the different tules, like extra Shock effect or extra damage vs. hard armours? Is it just the flavour text that's different, the game mechanical effects are the same?
Hi ultraviolet.
Swung blung weapons are in the bashing/bludgeoning section. Take a second look, you'll see they're all there. Any piercing weapon, however, uses the peircing table, not the cutting table. The damage tables are primarily concerned with the way that the weapon hits, and secondarily with the way the hit was delivered.
