Dave rolls Athletics (+2) to dodge, gets a +1, and also has effort +3. That means Igor hits. His claws are Weapon:4 so he does a 4-stress hit. Dave only has three spots on his track, so this would take him out. He decides to take a Mild Consequence instead (Nasty Scratches) which reduces it to a 2-stress hit, which he marks on his sheet.
I thought if you get a net "0," you miss. +3 for Igor, +3 for Dave. I'm confused.

p200 YS. If you get a net 0, you still hit but no additional stress.

Yes but: if you tie with a 0 and you have a weapon rating, you add the weapon rating to the zero-shift attack. Thus inflicting 4 stress.
YS 202 "Weapon Rating"

@KOFFEYKID:
You are right in that I didn't word it correctly but your explanation doesn't fit what I've been trying to do. I intended it as a harmless area version of the Orbius spell. I.e. it is a grapple -this means a block against ALL actions- and it is opposed by might or endurance. Unlike the Orbius spell though it won't slowly kill the affected people, merely hold them in place. (because you don't want to kill the girl and because your buddy can kill the bad guys instead)

I think you can see it the other way round, too.

I don't see it the other way around. To me, what Voldy suffered is a compel. It's a potent effect that had no roll, denied actions, and occured out of line of sight and immediate action. But if it works for you and your game, go for it.

--- Quote from: KOFFEYKID on August 18, 2010, 09:50:56 PM ---The wording is off, it shouldn't be a block versus endurance, its a block, against some action, which is opposed by endurance. Which means that the block keeps X from happening, but you can overcome the block by means of your high endurance.
So for example you can have two blocks that do the same thing be opposed by different skills.
A block against movement opposed by athletics.
A block against movement opposed by might.
In the first block you are doing something like dodging past whatever is blocking you, as long as its athletic.
On the second block you are using your brute strength to bypass the block, like maybe the block manifests as chains which bind you in place, and you go all hulk smash on the chains and then proceed to move.

So a block against movement prevents you from doing anything physical even a wizard casting spells?
