I came across this sentence in a 3rd party SW product tonight:
Quote:
Remember that melee weapon damage does not include a Wild Die


Is this correct? I was taught that whenever a melee weapon lists for example STR + d6 as it's damage and when it's a Wild Card character rolling the damage they'd roll whatever their STR die is along with their Wild Die and take the highest value.

That is correct as noted under Damage (pg. 67 of SWD)...

"Even though Strength is used to determine melee damage, this isn’t a Trait roll. Wild Cards don’t add a Wild Die to the roll and they can’t spend Bennies if they’re unhappy with the results."
