    WOIN [Question] Boxer and "Rope-a-dope"?

    A follow-up: Does this exploit use your actions? If so, all of them? In essence, can you do anything else whilst waiting for the big counter punch?

    WOIN [Question] Boxer and "Rope-a-dope"?

    Is the "return" damage calculated based on the damage you take before or after SOAK? If he deals you 10 damage per attack and you have SOAK 5, do you then do 10 or 20 bonus damage in return?

    WOIN N.O.W Natural Soak and Environmental effects

    Right, but say my team is inside an active volcano. It's very hot, to the point that the heat itself equals 1d6 heat damage every 1 min. Would this be SOAKed? It's not an attack, but is it an environmental effect?

    WOIN N.O.W Natural Soak and Environmental effects

    How does this relate to the rules about how SOAK functions? "Soak only applies to attacks which target Defense (not Mental Defense) except for Soak which specifically designates psychic or psionic damage." O.L.D. p. 80 Is the intention that SOAK only works against damage from an attack? And...

    WOIN [Question] Gun Punch and unarmed damage?

    I... well good point. I just got blind-sided by the "martial arts attack do damage of your gun" bit

    WOIN [Question] Gun Punch and unarmed damage?

    Hello Yet another Drekin question! This time I find myself wondering about the Gun Kata martial arts career from N.O.W. and it's Gun Punch exploit Gun Punch.

    WOIN [Question] Same named Exploits?

    I can't quite remember, but I think I read it from a post or reply you made. But that is why I wanted to double-check.

    WOIN [Question] Same named Exploits?

    Hello again Drekin is still here, with more questions! I remember reading some time back that you can't acquire an exploit that shares a name with an exploit you already have. Example you can't take both: Curriculum Exploits. Choose any three soft exploits from the Universal Exploits for...
