So, this animal's bite causes 1d+1{4} cut (0.5) damage
Could someone educate this confused GM what that means?
I get the 1d+1 part, but what's the rest of it mean?
Thanks!
Where is this stat line coming from? Is it from a GURPS book?
1d+1 = dice of damage rolled. roll 1d6 and add 1 to the total.
{4} = no clue.
cut = wound modifier. multiply penetrating damage by 1.5 for cutting attacks.
(0.5) = armor divisor. If the attack strikes armor, divide the armors DR by the indicated amount.
Examples using this stat block:
You roll and get a 3.
Damage becomes 4 (3+1)
The target is an arm that is not covered in armor, so the target takes 4 x 1.5 = 6 points of cutting injury.
Same thing as above, but they have DR 1 armor on the arm.
4 - (1 / 0.5) = 2, so the target takes 2 x 1.5 = 3 points of cutting injury.
Same thing as above, but they have DR 2 armor on the arm.
4 - (2 / 0.5) = 0, no damage gets through the armor.
