Title: Strength in Close combat
Post by: spp on <01-23-11/1708:43>

Does Strength round up or down when determining DV?

My GM ruled down until we find out otherwise.

Thanx,

Sincerely, spp.

It is rounded up.

Melee Damage
The Damage Value for most melee attacks is based on the attacker’s
Strength ÷ 2 (round up), modified for the weapon. A standard unarmed
attack inflicts (Strength ÷ 2)S.
Impact armor is used to defend against melee weapons.

This is from the core SR4A book on page 159.
