Tearing question

By Randomfist, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

Quick question about the tearing ability. Bolters in DW are basically tearing weapons that do 2d10+whatever. Is the extra die for tearing included in the 2d10 or does tearing make bolters roll 3d10+ whatever and take away the lowest die?

Roll 3 d10s, discard the lowest. If it was included, chainswords (which only get one die) would be rather useless.

The extra dice also increases your changes of scoring Righteous Fury. gran_risa.gif

Thanks for the reply guys!
