Does this mean the dude can't try a Dodge? Because he would then have had to call another manoeuvre and thus roll HT? Or does it mean that he *may* Dodge, but must make the HT roll before doing it?

Ever seen someone just curl up in a ball and take a kicking? I guess that's the Do Nothing option.

Neither. The Do Nothing maneuver allows normal active defense (see p. B364), so he may Dodge, and need not make an HT roll to avoid unconsciousness when he does so. Of course, his Dodge is halved (since if he is below zero HP, he's also below 1/3 of full HP), so the Dodge may not be very effective, but the option is still there.

Its sort of odd the way that's written, since it says you roll at the start of the turn, but only on turns where (leaving aside maneuver selection) you don't roll active defense (maneuver selection happens at the start of the turn, so isn't a problem, active defense happens later, which makes it problematic.) Its been a while since it has come up in play, but I think the most reasonable interpretation of the rule is to roll the HT roll immediately before the active defense roll. |

Re: Overkill on a Mozambique drill
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but is this documented in an FAQ or in the errata?
