Hi man,

This looks very promising.

Can you clarify me something about the example on page 22, 23?

It reads:

The other three drive towards Bendu, rolling 3d6. Their results are 1, 1, and 3. He has 3 HP left, so he’s safe, but the attack clearly impacted him. Given the impact table, Bendu is knocked over one of the crates on the rooftop and the wind is knocked out of him.

This reads like the impact table rolled a result of 3, Walloped. However, on page 20 it says that impact is rolled when:

A character is reduced to exactly 0 HP,

Thus, I dont understand why impact is being rolled on the combat example, is it because narratively it made sense?

Regards

Bendu had 3 HP remaining, so the result of 3 (highest among 1, 1, and 3 as all are rolled together and take the highest to "gang up" on him) applies to him. 3 HP with 3 damage = 0 HP, so we roll on the impact table given the blow. The "he's safe" aspect refers to him absorbing all incoming damage to his HP, as anything beyond that would go to his STR score, which would trigger a critical damage save. Failing that, he'd be down for the count until rescued.

In short, any time your HP is reduced to exactly 0 from a damaging attack, you roll for the impact.

Hi man thanks for answering.

I did not realized than when ganging up only the highest damage is taken into account. Just noticed it is on page 18.

Makes sense now
