before you satisfy my request (
) i would like to understand better the combat system. i just read that it's Defense value that is subtracted to lethalty while soaking is ubtraced at the end. ok
i also read that vampires takes 50% less damage from bashing weapons so reducing their soaking feat is not effective as i thought. Let's make an example now
Baton
3 damage
6 lethality
2 skill req
Let's say i have 10 in melee combat and enemy has 5 in defense
3x(6+10-2-5)=27 maximum possible damage.
Then let's say he has 3 soaking vs bashing...the damage falls to 24
Then let's say he's vampire,the damage goes down to 12
Correct?
Blades and fang works the same against defense but their damage has different soaking values to check and it's not reduced at the end
