Hit Location Table Vs. normal stun multilpier

[Tanis Frey]

My group just started a Fantasy/Space Hero Game.

 

We used hit locations and were scratching our heads about it.  The Hit location table includes multipliers greater that x3 but Killing Attacks without the hit locations only use 1d3 for the multiplier.

 

Is the Table incorrect? or is this an exception to the d3 multiplier rule?

 

It the Table a Hold over from 5th ed and not corrected?

 

Thanks, Tanis Frey

The table is correct. You can think of it as rewarding the greater level of detail, or being "more realistic," that sort of thing. And of course if you don't like it you can just restrict it to a x3 multiplier.

 

I hope y'all have a great campaign!
