WHAT Melee Passing Dice and knocking a prone opponent prone

[Deathworks]

Hello!

During my first encounter, I got the following situation:

My grunt companion with rage attribute charged at a prone opponent.

The companion rolled 5 dice and all passed, and the opponent also had their 2 dice pass.

Now, the rules say, you can only pass up to 3 dice, so it is Pass 3d vs. Pass 2d.

For melee damage, you get a bonus based on the difference in dice passed.

I figured it refers to the final result, so the bonus was just +1.

Is that correct, or should have been +3, because it were originally 5 dice that passed.

And this brought up another question: The opponent was already prone. The damage roll yielded knock opponent prone. Does this then mean no additional effect since the opponent was already prone? Or does it then move up a notch?

Yours,

Deathworks

Is that correct, or should have been +3, because it were originally 5 dice that passed. Melee table only says Pass more, does not say pass 3d6 or any specific number. Then  that's factored in on the Melee Damage Table.

And this brought up another question: The opponent was already prone. The damage roll yielded knock opponent prone. Does this then mean no additional effect since the opponent was already prone? Or does it then move up a notch? No, it stays prone. Hope this helps.

Hello!

It says on the top of page 2 that when using passing dice, you can pass 3,2,1 or 0d6 . I always check that, because in some games, you can only pass 2,1, or 0d6. And IIRC, Armies and Adventures has no limitations on passing dice.

Nice catch. Will eliminate that in future rules. Things have changed.   Thanks.
