It does, but I've got another question.  Like, take your example and my character is reduced to 2 talk, is that the number of my defense now?<br/><br/>Say they roll again the next turn and get a 3 and a 5 on their rolls for a total of 8.  Then I take that damage minus my current talk and intelligence?  So I would say 2 talk and 2 intelligince is 4 damage, which reduces me to zero.  Or, do I go off of my original talk and say 6 talk and 2 intelligence means I don't take any damage. ^^<br/><br/>If it's the latter, maybe we should have a Mind Control section like we do with Potency and Climax so it doesn't get too confusing. ^^ Mind control would also equal talk like Climax, but is for different purposes?  I dunno, I'm probably making this more complex than it needs to be. ^^
