I'm a beginner in the game. I'm trying to wrap my brain around the concepts in the game, but the books seem kind of vauge. I know I'll understand it once I figure it out, but at the moment...
So, if I have a character who fights unarmed, my damage is (STR)M Stun. I understand that this is M(oderate) damage, and the book says that does 3 boxes of stun damage. What does my strength add to this? Does this mean I'd do (STR)+3 boxes of stun damage? (My character has a STR of 5, so would it be 8 total?) And then it goes on to state that you can increase the damage level per two successes over the required number of succsess... so if I have the oppurtunity to do that, say I increase my damage to (STR)S, or STR+6 boxes of damage, would I then be doing a total of 11 boxes of stun damage (As my character, again, has a str of 5). How... how does defense incorporate into all of this?
Kind of glad I opted not to use guns... but I still need to know what happens when I get shot at. <_< Anyone willing to help me out with this? Please?
