The issue isn’t addressed specifically in the rules except for magic, as in the case of the missile spells.

I just reread Advanced Combat, ITL p.108 Rolling for Damage, and they really should have put a Zero damage example in there. Can anyone cite a Zero damage result from the books? Or maybe some from SJG could speak to this.

Otherwise, for my own games, I’m doing min 1 damage on a successful hit. Can you imagine rolling three 1s with your dagger, javelin or club and getting no damage? If that were a video game, I would be tempted to throw my controller.

Thanks for the thoughtful replies so far.
