It's Thread Necro Thursday, apparently...

In one of the WH40K sub-games I've seen, grenades actually weaponized the random hit location tables, by making D3 rolls on the random hit tables, then resolving a grenade hit against each part. That's primarily going to affect characters wearing partial armor, but could potentially be used for something like what I posted here, where a hit against an arm or a leg could cause a specific effect.

Did you cast remove curse, to ensure the thread necro, didn't become a zombie? 
But on the 'type of damage', to me Frag/concussion grenades are physical, while stun grenades are energy.

Nah, I have a Chrome Extension for that.

Makes sense. The rule I quoted above was specifically for Frag grenades, so the "resolve multiple hits" was supposed to represent a character getting hit by potentially 1-3 fragments at different spots on their body.

I actually like the idea of a Grenade potentially hitting the same target more than once. I think it really would add to the utility of Grenades.
