[RPG] Brutal Weapon Property and the Bugbear’s Oversized Weapons ability

bugbeardamagednd-4eoversized-weaponsweapons

So I was playing around in the D&D character builder and made a bugbear barbarian that used an execution axe. The Execution axe has a normal damage die of 1d12 but the bugbear racial ability bumps that to 2d6. The brutal weapon property says to "reroll any die that displays a value equal to or lower than the brutal value given for the weapon". The Brutal Value for the execution axe is 2, does this mean that on that the lowest a bugbear wielding an execution axe can roll for damage is 6?

Best Answer

Yes.

Brutal applies equally to all dice in a weapon's damage die and if it goes from a d12 to 2d6 then it's extra painful.
