okay by me. but my problem was / still is that a character in melee
normally uses some combat related ability to attack and defend vs his
opponent (like CC).
in my example there is suddenly an additional attack by missile. Can the
attacked character still use his CC ability to "defend" against this
attack, or does he get some (GM-given) penalty on CC, or must he change
abilities (from CC to dodger / jumping &c..)?
That's what I meant with "I discuss with the carls (*using "discuss"*),
while dodging the spit attacks of the eurmali (*cannot reasonably roll
against my discuss ability, so what must I do?*)"
still trying, stefan
