RE: (TFT) Is a sweeping blow physically cutting thru your target?

Depends,  if you roll 3 damage tripled to 9
that would not cut thru a person.

If you rolled 16 damage tripled to 48 then it
definitely would!

Rick,

     What happens if you roll double or triple damage vs the target
     of the sweeping blow?  Would you consider that to be a cut
     through the victim?
