Yeah . . . you're right. The distinction is really QC vs. Resistance roll, with the first step being an attack roll with limited active defense choices. Biffed that one.

Ironically, I did have an extended discussion with Sean about the (VERY, VERY!) minimal difference between QC and Resistance roll that they actually intended in the Basic Set. In most cases, the two are indistinguishable by design intent!

Anyway, it was eye-opening to me at the time. As was that in 80% of the cases, QC vs Attack/Defense wasn't that big a deal.

Sorry for the OT posts, then.
