    Hello !

    That may may seems a weird question.

    In the reference guide, on the "Attack" paragraph, we have:
    "To resolve an Attack, make a Face to Face Roll. The Attacker uses the dice specified by their Attack, and the Defender uses the dice pictured in their :W: Defense Attribute."
    But, at "Defender", we have:
    "When a Character is the Target of an Attack, they can make a Defense Roll against the active Character’s Attack Roll."

    This interrogation has appeared mainly because of Axl. To take advantage of "Footwork", he needs his target to makes :2:. Can the target choose to not roll Defense or Brawl for avoiding Axl to have additional Displacements ?

    I don't think so...

    I think everytime you have to throw dice you must do it... A face to face roll with just only one player throwing dice is not a face to face anymore lol.

    You can't make a FtF roll if one player doesn't roll, right?

    Both :W: Defense and :R: Brawl are mandatory (respectively for Attacks and Disengages)

    :3

    (also...

    That "can" stands for permission, not for option :3)

    Thank-you for your answers.

    That's the part that was unclear to me.
    And that could have been an interesting tactical choice to defend/brawl or not against an attack/dodge.

    Thanks again.
