Ok so if damage goes into a negative area when bringing the dmg of an attack back to the positive....do you start from the negative dmg or at 0?

Use normal math.

-4 plus 3 is -1.

-4 plus 6 is 2. Etc.

When an attack would deal damage, if it's damage is below one it doesn't deal any damage. That's the only time you'd do anything "funky" w/ the amount of damage.

lol yeah thats what i thought man...had a bit of a brain fart there!!!

Actually I'm not quite sure that damage can go in the negative... Isn't they a minimum of zero for damage? Control checks can go down to the negative, that's sure, but I thought that speed and damage were always to a minimum of 0.

EDIT : Dammit do I look stupid... Finally able to find an older post telling about it : www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp
