    Hey,

    simple question: do you need to inflict damage with :2:rolled in attacks? It seems the reference guide is giving contradicting answers.

    Page 3 under "Attacks" says in the last bullet "In the Effects step of the Attack, both Characters may use their unblocked :2: to cause the other that amount of :4:Damage." For me the "may" implicates that I also can decide to not cause :4:s.

    Page 7/8 under F2F roll shows: "If the Action being resolved is an Attack, each Character suffers as many :4: as :2: remain on their opponent’s Roll"

    Not sure what has priority here? Background to the question is to stop Moonchild from transforming by just not causing damage.

    @-V- / @Damiel Can you help to clarify? Thanks! (Also: in the pdf on page 8 it says "4" instead of the :4:symbol)

    Good question.

    Whichever way it's ruled I think it'd make a good FAQ.

    Well... I have been invoked... And here I am... X3

    Ok, this is not official, just my 2 cents, 'kay?

    I think Damage should be mandatory.

    Firstly, because the first moment during the Attack Sequence when you should resolve Damage is.

    Also, if you can do something and also you are instructed to do somenthing, the most restrictive thing is doing it, so you do it.

    Lastly, from lore and common sense, it's quite difficult to hit holding back the hit, in a free training environment... Now think about doing the same in the midst of a frantic Blitz game, in front of Vissiorama's cameras, with all the crowd shouting and the lights pointing at you...

    Damiel is right. Whenever you Attack, you always inflict all the Damage. That "may" from page 3 is a direct translation of a Spanish expression that was bad, by the way. I'll add this to FAQ as other ones I've been noting down. But currently, we are pretty busy and I can't give you any date when this will happen.

    Some may be "slightly" more OP than others.

    :-P

    Yesterday evening, @HarlequinOfDeath made to me a real demonstration of the power of Eclypse, whom I considered not that useful... I have never been so far away from the truth ! Thank you for the lesson @HarlequinOfDeath

    And so, as @-V- mentions it, this game is full of gold nuggets to be found :facepunch: :8:

    Eclypse is one of the most underrated Characters. We are conscious that she may not be the best support in the game, but we think it's unfair.
