A few questions about Resistance, apologies if they’ve already been answered.
Can a player push themselves or receive assistance when making a resistance roll? I can imagine them accepting the 2 stress in order to reduce their chances of rolling a 1-3 on a single die test. Is this allowed? Rather, would you allow this in your game, and why?
The rules state that a resistance is always successful, and it’s only the stress that varies. Does this apply to pre-emptive resistances? This would mean that, for example, a roll to resist being disarmed by a master swordsman before making your skirmish roll (as on page 11) is always successful. This seems overpowered to me – there should still be some chance to be disarmed. Thoughts from more experienced BITD GMs?
