b. Damage.
To damage your opponent, roll your weapon's damage die and add the result to your notes for the opponent's damage total.
Some opponents (usually bosses) have protection, which reduces your damage roll. Protection is the number given after an opponent's armor, like this:
A: steel plate 5
If an opponent has protection, you subtract the protection from your damage roll and add the difference to the opponent's total damage. Protection doesn't reduce damage below 1 point.
Action:
Go to kill.
Go back to attack.
