At your option,you may choose to do +1d6 damage but expose yourself to theenemy’s attack. ✴On a 7–9, you deal your damage to the enemy andthe enemy makes an attack against you.Hack and slash is for attacking a prepared enemy plain and simple. Ifthe enemy isn’t prepared for your attack—if they don’t know you’rethere or they’re restrained and helpless—then that’s not hack andslash. You just deal your damage or murder them outright, dependingon the situation. Nasty stuff.The enemy’s counterattack can be any GM move made directlywith that creature. A goblin might just attack you back, or they mightjam a poisoned needle into your veins. Life’s tough, isn’t it?Note that an “attack” is some action that a player undertakes thathas a chance of causing physical harm to someone else. Attackinga dragon with inch-thick metal scales full of magical energy usinga typical sword is like swinging a meat cleaver at a tank: it just isn’tgoing to cause any harm, so hack and slash doesn’t apply. Note thatcircumstances can change that: if you’re in a position to stab thedragon on its soft underbelly (good luck with getting there) it couldhurt, so it’s an attack.If the action that triggers the move could reasonably hurt multipletargets roll once and apply damage to each target (they each gettheir armor).Some attacks may have additional effects depending on thetriggering action, the circumstances, or the weapons involved. Anattack could also knock someone down, restrain them, or leave abig bloody splatter.</blockquote>
