okay i have a question about one of the mechanics in brikwars
how the hell does parrying work? i don't think i understand what you're supposed to do.
Close Combat is a little complicated.
A parry basically reduces damage done by an attack. If a minifig wants to parry an attack, then they roll against the attacker's attack/skill roll (not damage roll). If it equals to or is higher than the attack/skill roll done by the opponent AND equal or higher than the use rating of the weapon he's parrying with, then it succeeds. If it succeeds then you would roll the damage of the weapon that is used in the parry. Subtract this roll from the damage roll of the opponent's damage. If the remainder is equal to or else than your minifig's armor, he survives!
If the parrying minifig has two close combat weapons he can parry and riposte (parry and strike back). If you choose to do this then you take -1 to all rolls (skill and damage rolls) done by the minifig who is parrying. You go through the steps of parrying, then if they survive that you roll a normal skill and damage roll for the riposting weapon (with -1 due to riposting).
