In ay event after the first of the tandem charges passes through the RAP there's still 43 pts of damage left. There's no reason not to stack that onto the second charges damage _except_ that you're trying to rules-lawyer an indestructible tank by separating the two co-axial attacks in an unrealistic manner. At any rate, argue the stacking MS-HEaT damage rule with Hans instead of me. It's his rule basically.

Re: Reign of Steel - Will to Live: Are DR values too low?
Fair enough. I'm not trying to rules-lawyer an indestructible tank; I just encountered something (the tandem warhead damage-stacking rule, which seems very 3e) which felt backwards to me. But as you say, this is probably the wrong thread to argue that point. =P

Re: Reign of Steel - Will to Live: Are DR values too low?
Oh no. It wasn't done that way in 4e at all. I don't remeber the details off-hand but RAP worked very dfifferently and tandem warheads worked dfferently to defeat them. MS-HEAT stacking is very 4e.

Re: Reign of Steel - Will to Live: Are DR values too low?
I see. Well, it reminded me of the only other damage-stacking rule I can recall, which was 3e lasers. Either way, my complaints with tandem warheads would be mostly solved if it either a) treated the warheads separately in all cases or b) treated the warheads as cumulative in all cases. If I include them in a future game, I'll probably go with option A, since it feels less unbalancing compared to a single larger warhead.

Re: Reign of Steel - Will to Live: Are DR values too low?
I beleive that they should be stacked in all cases really. Defense from RAP is stacked in 4e. That exception for RAP and Tandem warheads only makes sense if you asume 3e rules.
