Okay, I've been reading things over a lot because I'm GMing this time around. Making players die isn't so bad (can't believe my other GM.)

Anyways Full Defense

You take the attackers successes and compare them to just the defender's skill rolled.

Then you take the attackers successes and compare them to just the defender's dodge rolled.

Then you do a body test against the remaining successes.

How I read the successes of the defender part makes me wonder if he gets to combine the dodge and the skill together at the end. Because they keep the whole part separated.

To me full defense sucks. There are no modifiers that would seem to give him anything. Do you customarily give someone with the full defense a superior position adventage?

What is your idea of these rules.
