Re: [HoE] New Blast Rules (possible spoilers)

[Matthew Steflik <grifflik@stny.rr.com>]

Okay, along the lines of the previously discussed "tanker truck"
example, here's another issue:

Both Nuke and Ground Zero do d20's at "ground zero" and have a burst
radius of 10.
Nuke does a base 3d20, while GZ does a base 10d20.

Yet if I'm following this correctly under the new blast rules, BOTH have
an EQUAL maximum threshold of 60 yards regardless of raises? And this
also means a mere 60 yards out from a GZ you might not take ANY damage
(6-1d6 locations)?

What?!?  Am I misinterpreting this?

Regarding the question of rolling or not rolling up on aces for
determining number of hit locations for mass damage, I'd say definitely
roll up.  Should there be a "chance" that the individual not take damage
at the outermost radii?  Sure, I suppose.  If you don't roll up, it's
guaranteed. Why have the last radii at all if that's the case.  No way.
