e. Protection.
When your opponent damages you, your armor reduces the damage. Roll your opponent's damage die, which is on its character sheet on the Weapon line, like this:
W: big stick d4
If you're wearing armor, subtract its protection from the damage roll. The difference goes into your Physical damage, which you record in your notes. Your protection doesn't reduce the damage below 1.
If there are multiple hostile NPCs, go to Defend Again. If not, go to Mostly Dead.
Action:
Go to defend again.
Go to mostly dead.
