Magic Eight Ball
Alrighty cool! That's right. I had already factored in the Kata. Had forgotten. Didnt apply the specialty though. So thanks for pointing that out!The way that maths out is 2m for up to +4 to a static value (half the attribute + ability, as if you were adding successes)
The defense boost from bracers adds to your weapon defense. The formula for parry DV is [Dex + ability + weapon defense]/2
In your case let's say, 3 dex, 8 martial arts (specialties apply) +5 from kata bracers. All that divided by 2, rounded up to nearest whole number is 8. Adding 4 gets you to 12 before any penalties apply.
Which reminds me! Having taken 2 lhl damage. His wound penalty is a -1.
Is that a penalty to DV as well as to hit?
