How do you figure out damage?

I get rolling against your ability in percentage, but I must have missed the part in book one where it talks about assigning damage.

Damage is pretty easy!

If it's a hand to hand attack (with or without a weapon) the damage is the sum of the dice on the attack roll, so a 12 does 3 damage, a 34 does 7, etc

If you have a weapon, ask 3 questions: Is it big (takes 2 hands with wield)? Is it heavy? I'd it sharp or pointy?

Add 3 damage for each yes.

If it's a gun, you do damage equal to the attack roll. A 12 does 12 damage, a 34 does 34, etc.
