Damage Cap

Abzu told me I was drifting, so...

The PTGS goes up to B16, G16, W16. What happens if you somehow get something that does B17 damage? Is it B17, effectively B16, or does it roll over and become G1?

If the third is true, a Troll could concievably do Grey damage with black stats and weapons. That seems wrong to me somehow, but on the other hand without that, there's no way to fight something that has a Grey Mortal Wound without getting a magic weapon.

Damage can roll over into grey if you are powerful enough! A Black 17 becomes a Grey 1 and gets all the benefits of Grey Damage, including ignoring black armor.

OK, thanks. This seemed to be implicit in the draphic design of the PTGS but I couldn't find a reference to it.

i think this is kinda cool becasue you could have someone on the cusp of "greatness" roll over to gray with a nudge on occasion. it shows where mundane ends and the realm of the hero lies.
