Melee damage bug?
When I roll for damage with a melee weapon, the damage die are capped at the character's Strength Trait die.
For example, a weapon with damage listed as Str+d8, rolls 2d6 for damage when the character has a d6 Strength.
I adjusted the Strength up and down, along with the weapon damage dice. Every time, the damage die displayed in the character sheet and the damage die rolled are capped by the Strength Trait.
Is this a known error? I could not find it listed with my feeble attempt to search.

That's how Savage Worlds works. If you want to house rule it you can turn it off in the options.

Doh! I had forgotten about minimum strength! I was watching Savage Worlds played in Fantasy Grounds on YouTube and the GM must have disabled that rule. I looked up melee damage in my Deluxe Explorer's Ed., but didn't see the minimum strength rule on pg 54......and had forgotten all about that.
Thanks for the replies. And have a Savage New Year with Fantasy Grounds!
