Suffice to say I have some players who are considering using an IED in one of their runs. Its about 2 kilos of TNT with a pressure plate/push-in detonator. A classic homemade mine.
Sounds like it should be pretty effective. But reading the rules it says that it should have a DV of Sqrt Kilos * V. So, with TNt rated at 4, 2 kilos of the stuff should have a DV of 5.6 (rounded to 6) if it goes off right underneath a target. And it halves armor. That should be roughly enough to...mildly inconvenience someone. In contrast, a high explosive grenade has a DV of 10. So, what am I missing here? Is there a net hits process I'm ignoring? A special non-resistance? Extra damage from fire or concussion? Because what seems like it should tear a leg off is roughly the same as a 5.56 flesh wound how i'm reading the rules... |
