Basic Principles and Game Mechanics

GURPS uses six-sided dice only. To figure combat damage (and several other things), the ldice+adds system is used. If a weapon does l4d+2L damage, this is shorthand for lroll 4 dice and add 2 to the total.Likewise, 3d-3 means lroll 3 dice and subtract 3 from the total.If you see just l2d,L that means lroll two dice.For really huge numbers, dice can be multiplied. l2d10L would mean lroll 2 dice and multiply by 10.
