(Answered) Melee weapon BV and TSM

[Nicolai_Malthus]

Hello, all!

If I were to, say, slap a hatchet and TSM on a Banshee, how would I go about calculating the hatchet's BV?

The rules state that a hatchet's BV is its damage value x 1.5. For a Banshee, this damage value would be 19, or 38 once TSM is activated. Would the BV then be 28,5 or 57?

Cheers!

Hello!

This was covered in the 3.1 errata for TechManual;
"In the footnotes section, add the following new footnote:
**The damage used to calculate the item’s BV is based on the final damage the item can deal after all possible
modifications (such as TSM) are applied."

So yes, the BV would be 57 for the hatchet in this instance.

Thank you very much! Turns out I was using the 3.0 errata for TechManual.
