How do you break up a d10 Brutal 2 weapon?
You can't... You gotta just reroll.
I saw your earlier thought on breaking damage die up, but didn't comment mostly because I figured it'd end up taking longer than just rerolling the darn thing the first time. :P
I mean, your idea works, mathematically (at least for Brutal 2 d12 -> 3d4) but I'm not sure you'd save time (and by switching to 3d4 you're much more likely to be rolling averages than really high and low)
For all we know, there won't be any Brutal Weapons below d10, or even d12. I wonder if we'll see another property, Wimpy. Like Wimpy 11 d12, reroll all damage rolls over 11. :P
It's simpler than that. A Brutal X dY is equivalent to a d(Y - X) + X.
For example, if you have a Brutal 2 d12 weapon, you keep rolling until you get a number from 3 to 12, which is exactly the same as rolling a d10 and adding 2.
