Afternoon all.
Quick question about the Area of a blast weapon. The LRB says that 'the area is the distance from the aiming point that the grenade's blast extends'. I presume by this that the area is actually the radius, rather than the diameter of the explosion? That's how I've always played it, but now I re-read the book it doesn't seem as explicit as I first thought.
Any help would be much appreciated!
That's fairly explicitly radius, as it talks about how far it extends from the aiming point (although "aiming point" is slightly bad wording, as a grenade does not necessarily hit where it was aimed), ruling out a diameter measurement - which would be worded more like "number of yards across".
Thanks for that. Yeah I just thought I'd read something which used the phrase 'blast radius' explicitly. Still, glad I'd read it properly!
