Hey guys! I just picked up WoP and it’s my first foray into the Apocalypse World-related ruleset. As a big fan of Fate and Icons, it looks like an easy transition for me.
I do have a question: Do both “Take No Harm” and “Reduce Mob By 1” have a Choice cost of 1? For example, with a 9 (Moderate) Takedown roll result, could I blast into a swarming cloud of nanites (Reduce Mob By 1), and then duck behind the burnt out remains of a nearby vehicle (Take No Harm)?
I must admit, I am only on p. 38, but I didn’t see a clear answer, in the examples given, so far.
Can’t wait to run this! Thanks! =)
I’d say yes. If the rules don’t call out using more than one Hold, then it’s one Hold.
That’s how I ran it for my group
Yep! Sorry if that isn’t made clear – if the rules don’t tell you it costs more than 1, it only costs 1.
Thanks, guys! After reading a bit further, there were other examples, which made it crystal clear.
