Melee damage to helpless targets

By jack_px, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

If i have a great weapon and my strenght bonus is 3 (so my normal damage would be 2d10+3), the damage to an helpless target is 3d10+3? 3d10+6? 4d10+3? Or 4d10+6???

your damage should be: DEAD

Drop a greatsword on the head of a sleeping guy and i don't see any point in trying to figure out the exact ammount of tissue damage unless you are a coroner XD

By the book you should deal 4d10+3, the rule says: "roll the dice for damage twice and add the results" it talks only of dice not of any other factor in the damage.

still to me is just a kill, no roll involved unless exceptions are necessary.
