Unicorn Medicine

Elasmotherium Sibiricum unicorn.

It's a 4-5 ton critter, so ST 41.

The 3e Bestiary says it has DR 4.

It's smaller than an elephant with the same DR, so an elephant rifle should suffice, right?

An elephant only has HT 12, the Elasmotherium has a 17.  It's pretty much not going to blow the health roll.

To drop it dead in its tracks with its HT 17 you pretty much have to do auto-death.

That's 246 points of damage.

A tall order.

1/3 that if you hit the vitals.

82 points has to penetrate, so 86 raw.

That's a max damage roll for 14d+2 pi.

It's an average roll for 6d+1x4 pi.

1/4 if you go for the brain.  2 extra DR there.

62 need to penetrate the DR 6 so 68 raw.

Max roll for 11d+2 pi.  Average roll for 6d+1x3 pi.

Those are not African hunting rifle stats.  A Steyr-Solothurn S18-1000 firing 20x138mmB APHE does 6dx3 pi++, and you need to hit it in the brain.

However, two shots of .600 Nitro to the noggin will do it, on average.  That's going to take some points in Fearlessness!
