Defense

Defense

  Defense is a characters ability to avoid or deflect being hit by most physical attacks. This represents their ability to duck, weave, zig, maybe zag, block or evade their opponents attack.   Mechanically Defense is the target number of successes an attack has to match in order to gain a damage bonus, usually from weapons, Egdes and powers. The next step is to see if the attack hit hard enough and precise enough to overcome the targets Soak to wound them.   A target Defense is to always have a minimum value of 1 unless another mechanic specifically states otherwise.    

Evade

  Evasion is one side of Defense that specifically mean avoiding the attack or effects of the attack.    

Parry

  Parry is the other side of Defense that represents deflecting or blocking an attack with your weapon or a shield. Certain techniques or traits may allow you to block attacks unarmed.
