Sorry guys, I've got a follow on from this.
Pretty sure I've got the dice pools figured out, but do successes from defence stack with the resistance test at all?
Meaning, if I try and defend against the attack either by trying to dodge it entirely, block the attack or parry it, does this in any way reduce the damage value of the attack before attemption the attempt to resist said damage.
In some ways it makes sense to, but on the other hand it might make it impossible to get hurt.
I didn't note anything in the rules.
