Well I have to say I'm very, very enamored with the Combat Primer.
Some questions:
If my current maneuver allows multiple attacks, does my opponents defense roll compare to all of my attack rolls or just one?
Ex. I have an attack that does a D6 & a D4, my oppoent defends with a D10. I roll a 5 & a 3. He rolls a 4. Do I then compard both to the 4 for 1 hit? Or do I compare my 5 to his 4 & then my 3 is unopposed?
Also, under 5 Season, the Blizzard Mind lists Add D8 Attack Next Round, but the Gloss says D4. Which is correct?
I can't tell you how pleased I am with this game. Keyes got me to look at it & then try it & I can't thank him enough. This game can't come out fast enough.

Yeah, that was fun!
Here's the scorecard:
Yord (Savage using Savage Style) beat Roland (Noble using Court Sword). Wasn't that close a fight, either.
Tajal Abize (Rogue using Free Sword) beat Deirdre Axameira (Troll Warrior using Arrowheart and Twin Weapon). Close fight.
I lost both fights (d'oh!) but still had a great time.

I believe he rolls the d10 against each attack. I'm not sure that it's stated explicitly, although under CHOOSING ACTIONS AND THE STYLE SHEET it states "Whenever you are attacked, roll the defense die". If you read the section about multiple attacks and defenses though, it states... "Multiple defense dice – say d4/d4 – are rolled against each attack. For example, if a character is two-hand-parrying for d4/d4 defense and comes under attack from two assailants, each making two attacks, then he rolls d4 and a d4 against the first assailant’s first attack, a d4 and a d4 against the first assailant’s second attack, a d4 and d4 against the second assailant’s first attack, and finally a d4 and a d4 against the second assailant’s second attack. Every time, he takes the highest single score on his two d4s as his result." Which pretty clearly shows you roll defense against every attack. The advantage of multiple defens dice is that you can roll both and take the highest against any given attack. That's the way I read it anyway. It should probably be explicitly stated just so that's it's perfectly clear in the final version.

Great, thanks. I just made a note to make sure that it is explicit in the final version. Yes, you roll the d10 defense against both the attacks. So if you attack at d6 and d4, and you roll a 4 and a 2, then your opponent has to roll the d10 twice. Say he rolls a 6 and a 1. Then the first misses (4 vs. 6) and the second hits (2 vs. 1, almost a critical!).
Five Seasons: Doh! Thanks again. That gloss needs to be updated. It was an extra d4 attack, but we thought it needed a bit more oomph. It should be an extra d8. Another note made.
And thanks for the kind comments. Believe me, I can't wait for the full game to be released either!
That is excellent about Yord vs. Roland. Thanks. I assume you played Roland as is. By that I mean, no Mastery maneuvers because he's only an apprentice. Even if he were a master, of course, Yord isn't from Duchy Raixe, so those two maneuvers wouldn't be that strong. Anyway, super!
Ok, and very nice about Tajal beating Deridre. Twin Weapon and Arrowheart both tend to be high offense/low defense, and Free Sword is mainly balanced (slight edge toward offense). Close fight... interesting. Very cool. Thank you.

Yes, no Mastery maneuvers. Thanks for the info!
