| Does Melee damage go down the more actions you take? |

The number of dice needed to try and accomplish the actions goes down, the damage itself remains the same.

Here's a question- what about injuries? If a character is wounded and has -1D to their stats, would that affect their physical strength and thus their Melee damage?

Under the RAW it should, I believe, although I don't run it that way.

Page 97 of the Revised and Expanded rules says -
| Quote: | The character suffers
a penalty of -1D to skill and attribute rolls until he heals
(through medpacs or natural rest). |
I'm not seeing an exception for soaking damage, only for making natural healing rolls to recover from damage. I play it the way garhkal indicated, but I'm not seeing a citation in the rules to support that interpretation. Anyone? |

This was already discussed in the Official Rules area. Here is the appropriate post by entropy.

I know we've strayed from the topic into the area of wounding specific body parts, but I happened to be looking up something in 2nd edition revised and expanded, and came across this:
Quote:
A character always rolls his or her full strength to resist damage (even if wounded), although disease and other circumstances may reduce a character's strength dice.
It's on page 80, 6th bullet point under free actions. You don't need a house rule for this. |

You know, having been RPGing since 1998, I didn't think I could feel like such a noob, but... can I ask you fellas to define RAW and 'soak damage,' or direct me to a glossary wherein I could glean their meanings?

RAW is shorthand for Rules As Written.
Soak damage is the roll that is used to resist damage inflicted upon the character. Thus, it means rolling Strength + any armor to resist the damage.
Deal damage is the roll that inflicts the damage. For most ranged weapons it's a die amount, like 4D or 3D+2. Melee weapons inflict STR+weapon damage. So a weapon that does STR+1D damage is rolling the Strength dice and adding 1D to it. |

Thank you. What about... was it 'MAP' that I've been seeing thrown around a lot here? MA...something.  Probably another unfamiliar term for a familiar concept, but I haven't been able to decipher it from context, either.

MAP: Multiple Action Penalty
The penalty you take for taking more than one action in a round (2 actions -1D, 3 actions -2D, etc). I had to figure that one out too, hadn't heard it until I came here. |

I'm surprised this site doesn't have a 'stickied' thread somewhere with this sort of lexicon/language, to help out all the newbies.
