Default Re: Shield Rush in DFRPG

Sup Kromm... Sorry for reviving a two year old topic... a newbie doubt:

How could initial thrust be 2d-1 on example below?
ST + 3 plus Striking ST, means ST 15 for damage... that would be 1d+1 for thrust damage, right? I'm missing something?

With a DB 3 large shield and a spike, the rush will be 2d+5. In decent armor, the knight will probably be managing Move 3 and +1 per die, for 2d+7 (average 14)
