> when I chop do I get some of the impact, will it knock something over? if i bash will i get some of the slice and have the chance to hack off a limb? Yep. The way these basic attack styles work is that they will favor one damage type over the others -- it's not really that different than the way defenses work, to be honest. You might be stanced for 100 evasion, 60 parry, 20 shield, for example. We're all familiar with this basic approach in DR Combat. A Slice attack might be 100 slice, 60 impact, 20 puncture. A Chop might be more like 120 slice, 50 impact, 10 puncture. This is just a random made-up example, but it should at least illustrate the basic principle involved using a scheme we are already familiar with. - GM Dartenian
