Re: Shift after Disengage
Seems to me that this is only a theoretical problem. The world is not an infinite, featureless plain with only you and your opponent on it.

Re: Shift after Disengage
Just let anybody who has a pending action available strike at the disengaging figure, but rolling one die more to hit than usual. This way disengage for high DX figures is a lot like defend.

Re: Shift after Disengage
I prefer the rule as written in this case. It is one of those chess-like elements that make game play a reasoned, skilled activity, which I think improve the combat system

For example, the two characters would be fighting over something. The player not choosing constant disengages is holding control of that thing, maybe a sack of coins on the floor. When the high DX player uses his action to disengage, the low DX player picks up the sack of coins as his action. Now the disengaging player must give up the coins or actually fight. Alternately, if the disengaging player already has the sack of coins he runs off with it after disengaging and the action ends. And so on. I see nothing wrong with the game at times presenting a player with a situation that he, at that moment, cant beat. It just makes the game have a bit of realism. For a real world example, try going outside and catching a squirrel with your bare hands. You will lose to the squirrel, consistently. That doesnt mean the rules of reality have something wrong with them. |

Re: Shift after Disengage
Being able to disengage safely can also be seen as a nice check/balance on the initiative / entire-side-moves system - it gives the side suffering from lack of initiative a possible way to mitigate that by reacting to the positions after the movement phase, by investing a turn Disengaging.
