I have a question regarding a CC duel between someone with Berserk agaisnt someone with Martial Arts 3. If both of them use their skills, given that is no longer a f2f roll but two normal rolls, would the -3 MOD from MA3 apply to the berserk guy? CASE 1) Berserk guy gets +6 MA3 guy gets +3 but does not apply -3 CASE 2) Berserk guy gets +6 MA3 guy gets +3 and applies -3
Case 2. Martial arts only requisite is to be in base to base contact. Says nothing about normal or ftf rolls
Had the doubt because it says it applies to the opponent, but was wondering if it was an opponent if they were normal rolls and not f2f
That's one of the reason why JSA for example has Domarus with Berserk and MA 3, you're just boosting yourself a lot
Unfortunately this is wrong. From http://infinitythewiki.com/en/CC_Special_Skills Opponent MOD: A MOD applied to the Attribute of an enemy when making a Face to Face Roll. See the bit I've marked in red. As there is no FtF Roll, the Opponent's MOD for MA3 will not apply, so it's case 1.
interesting, so I have been doing that wrong for years and my ten or so domarus never lived up to their full potential ; )
Berserk also allows you to deny Surprise Attack mods, as these are also applied to FtF rolls. Just need to be wary of Natural Born Warrior - because the mode that turns off CC skills removes a Domaru's Martial Arts, Berserk, and Dual Wield.
