Hi all; I’m new to MotW and am looking to clarify a few things before I start my sessions next week. If I’m asking in the wrong place, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll get my first question out of the way:
One aspect of combat has me a bit puzzled: It seems when a PC Kicks Some Ass on a monster, the monster more or less is able to inflict its normal damage right back at the PC, no “answering” roll necessary. So, in the most basic, or crudest sense we’d be looking at a situation like this: Theoretically, a monster with 14 harm and +2 harm per hit vs. a hunter with 7 harm and +2 harm per hit would always end up killing the hunters.
I’ve got to be missing something. Do monsters ALWAYS do their damage when a PC is Kicking Some Ass, or is it only during certain circumstances? Certainly the PC’s can’t have to rely on their Luck ALL the time…?
