"BUZZ!! Wrong!" (That can be really annoying)
The only way a shot is a clean miss is if the attacker gets no successes
_or_ the defender gets AN EQUAL OR GREATER AMOUNT OF SUCCESSES FROM HIS
COMBAT POOL DICE ONLY! *breath* Thesues from above does take the serious
wound since he only had 1 SUCCESS from his combat pool against the
attacker's 3 successes.
Attacker: Defender:
10S Damage w/3 successes 1 Success from Combat pool dice
3 Successes from Body dice
Results...Combat Dice Successes < Attackers successes
No Clean miss recorded
Defender's Successes do not exceed attacker's success
enough to reduce damage.
Defender recieves Serious wound.
