OK, my players have come up with a gripe against the system that I cannot even fathom. They think the system is bad because they cannot attack while defending (without a counterattack Charm).
Here's what happens:
ST: The Zombie takes a swipe at you with his claws. (On Zombie's turn)
PL: I duck down swiftly and sweep his legs out from under him.
Major problem here is it really sounds reasonable but it doesn't seem fair (in my eyes at least) to attackers. I know defense is supposed to get priority, but to the point of retaliative strikes? The counterattack rules are admittedly sparse on this matter and I can't seem to convince them of any arguments otherwise.
Please help. Am I the one in the wrong here? Have any of you handled anything like this?
