Weapon Die Incorrect

[Meliath1742]

Not sure if this a known issue or I'm missing something. The melee weapon damage die are being limited by the characters strength. For instance, a long sword with a d8 damage given to a character with a strength of d6 calculates the damage to be Str+d8 but shows the graphic of 2d6 instead and actually rolls as 2d6. See attached pic.

Anyone? What am I missing here? If I remove the "Str" from the calculation and put in the die for strength it works...but that's a work-around.

I dont play SW but I think this has been discussed before and the interpretation here was correct but is often house ruled the way you play... or something like that.

and a couple of posts later it shows you how to change/disable that ruling

That is according to rules. If you prefer that minimum strength does not take account add ! character to damage string, ie. Str!+d8

Thanks for the info all. I guess I missed the strength limit rules...I'll take another look!
Update: Found it! Under the Gear chapter...again, thanks.
