half dice in Hero System

whswhs · 10-20-2024, 05:09 PM

The Hero System rules for killing attacks call for rolling half dice under certain conditions: a killing attack may inflict 1/2 d6 as BODY, and the BODY inflicted is multiplied by 1/2 d6 to find STUN (in the sixth edition). How exactly do you roll 1/2 d6? I haven't been able to find it in the Basic Rulebook, or in my old copy of the fourth edition of Champions. Do you roll 1d6, and interpret 1 or 4 as 1, 2 or 5 as 2, and 3 or 6 as 3? Or is it something else?
