Clash Attack

Clash Attacks are a special roll used when two characters attack one another on the same tick.

Clash Attacks ignore both characters’ Defense. Instead,the two attacks act as an opposed roll. The character who accumulates more successes wins, striking his opponent, while the loser’s attack is thwarted.

If a Clash Attack is withering, then it adds the threshold by which the winning fighter beat his opponent’s roll to its raw damage. A successful withering Clash attack adds 3 additional points of Initiative damage after damage is rolled.

A successful decisive Clash attack adds one additional automaticpoint of Health Track damage after damage is rolled.

Finally, in addition to suffering damage, the loser of the Clash Attack suffers a -2 penalty to his Defense until his next turn.
