Lets say i have red as a CC SE on a mech, and i have + 2 showing on my heat dial. I role a 6 for the HTH weapons. Do i do 6 or 8 damage. I thought that i would do 6, but someone at my venue said that the FAQed it and made me do 8 damage. Please LMK. THanks

Just like when you had a -2, HtH completely replaces your damage value including any heat effects.

It's weird, and I don't know for sure. I know that brawling specifically affects the damage done in by Melee attacks, so it increases the actual damage. TSM just increases the number on the dial, which is ignored when you roll your Hand-To-Hand Weapon attack.

Check the FAQ.

If you ask me I think TSM should up the damageof even a hand to hand weapon. That is why in a lot of CBT Mechs that had hatchets or swords alos had TSM. Of course that is my opinion.... I could be wrong

It would be 8. Heat effects apply, be it good or bad.

nope this was already ruled its 6, the negitives on the heat dial effect the number not the roll from the h2h read the spiecal abilitie card on h2h

H2H replaces the printed damage value of the mech. The TSM only modifies the printed damge value. So it goes that tsm modifies the printed damage value, but the HtH overrides it. It would be 6 not 8

Now why would you not use the H2H SE instead of tsm, well you might have a mech that does 3 primary and gets the +2 for tsm. that 5 guaranteed, (or the more likely number is 2 +2 for tsm is a guaranteed 4 damage) instead of the one in 6 chance of getting a 6
