[[Okay, timed things poorly and don't have time to write up the update this round needs before having to head to work, so:<br/><br/>Dwarfhunter: Thanks! If I have openings I'll be posting so in the thread, so keep following it.<img alt=":)" src="./images/smilies/smile.gif" title="Smile"/><br/><br/>Ambrose: You get to defend against all attacks! You'd only take 4 shifts if you rolled a 0 on your defense, which is possible but not certain. You would probably use quick defense (jerking out of the way of the powder) or arguably forceful (powering through the spell) or... could justify a number of approaches. Also, since there's been more than one person confused about this:<br/><br/>The difference between an attack roll and a defense roll is the number of<span style="font-style: italic">shifts</span>of damage the defender takes. Those shifts get allocated to Stress and Consequences. You start with a 1-shift stress box, 2-shift stress box, and 3-shift stress box, while you can also take a Mild consequence for 2 shifts, Moderate for 4, and Severe for 6. Consequences are just aspects that the person who damaged you can invoke once for free, and stick around for different amounts of time after the fight until you can remove them. And again, you can only use one stress box per attack. So, if Lamya *did* roll a 0 and have to take 4 shifts, she'd need to either take a Mild Consequence+2-shift stress box or a Moderate consequence, or she could concede defeat and make a cowgirl very happy.<br/><br/>Cassy: The rage was just a one-time-use Boost. Once it gets used for a single roll, it's gone forever. Same thing applies to the Boost you're being given by ragnar; you use it on your defense and it's done, then you use the boost you got from that high defense roll on your attack and then *it's* gone.<br/><br/>Jermayan: Yep! He gets a boost but you take no damage.<br/><br/>Everyone: Remember, you can choose to apply boosts or invoke aspects<span style="font-style: italic">after</span>you see your roll! You don't have to pre-declare what you're spending fate points on.<img alt=":)" src="./images/smilies/smile.gif" title="Smile"/>]]
