In the book, it is written:
"Defender Has Defended Against Previous Attacks If a character has defended against at least one other attack (melee or ranged) since his last action, apply a –1 cumulative modifier for each additional defense roll." Does that apply to defensive actions taken only or does soaking without attempting to defend incur that penalty as well? The question revolves around a hypothetical of a character built with a soak of 38 dice vs 100 police armed with assault rifles firing at once on the character (Assuming 3 Agility, 4 Automatics, and Smartlink). |
