This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'm reading reading the Mean Streets noir RPG right now and I have 2 questions that the book did not seem to spell out.

1) How a is a character's Fatigue and Health calculated?

2) How is damaged rolled? Do you roll 2d12 and add the weapon damage or is it only the weapon damage with no roll of the dice? The book makes is sound like there is a damage roll because under Knockdowns it says: "If the total amount of damage dice rolled against a character is greater than his Fitness Rating, he is knocked down."

All characters have the same amount of Fatigue and Injury (see the character sheet). Damage is applied directly to Fatigue/Injury unless the defender has armor (Fitness is 4+ provides 1 armor vs. Fatigue). For armor, roll xD6, where x = damage. Each die that is greater than armor rating is then applied to Fatigue/Injury. Also see the Dramatics and Heroics options for tougher characters.
