I'm new at the game so I'm going to post a sample attack to make sure I'm approaching the mechanics correctly:
My character is going to attack a zombie.
PC Stats:
3 Dex / 3 Vit +Rock Climber, - Can't Run Fast
3 Log / 3 Will, + Computer Engineer, - Insomniac
3 Char / 1 Emp, +Non Conflicted killing Zombies, - anxiety.
NPC Stats: (Infected)
4 Dex / 2 Vitality / 2 Logic
+ Feels No Pain, + Horrifying, +Relentless, - Single Minded
PC attacks with initiative:
1+ Dice for attack
1+ Dice for rock climber (strength)
1+ Dice for Non Conflicted Zombie Killer
1+ Dice for knife
1- Dice for the act of attacking a zombie
Roll:
Positive: 4, 6, 1, 2
Neg: 1
Results: 1's cancel each other. 6 is above dex, 4 is above dex, so I get one success with the 2.
My character sustains no damage and the zombie sustains 3 stress, 1 for the success and 2 for the + 2 damage on the knife.
Does that sound about right?
