On page 31 of the core rule book it talks about soak value. Does soak go for every attack incoming?

Say Pash is attacked by a droid for 10 damage let's say his soak value is 3 so he will receive a damage of 7.

Now on his next attack against him does she still have a soak of 3 on every attack against him?

I couldn't find anything on it. I would imagine that it is always there but want to be sure.

Yes. Soak is per attack.

Great thanks...

And soak always applies unless the attack has a special rule or something that specifically allows it to ignore soak.

Cool I didn't know that. Thx again

It should be specified that soak is per hit. Things like autofire or dual-wielding may allow you to hit a target more than once in a single attack. The soak applies to each hit separately.

True.

So I should think of soak as armor in an MMO it's always there and every hit it takes away a set number of damage due to it's protection.

Pretty much.

Or like DR in most D20 games.

Soak of damage has a long history in Table Top games. (World of Darkness as an example). Just want to head off the MMOs are not RPGs haters.
