Combat - Quick Contest of Attack vs Active Defense

GameBuddah · 10-08-2021, 06:48 PM

In preparation for tomorrow's game, my wife and I ran through the first encounter of "I Smell a Rat." She was playing the Swashbuckler, and I was playing a Giant Spider.

She wiped the floor with the Spider - the Spider didn't land a single hit.

Has anyone used a quick contest of Attacker's attack vs defenders defense in DFRPG?

I feel like it might have given the poor giant spider a chance to score at least one hit.

I think I'm going to increase the number of spiders tomorrow from 1xplayer, to 1xplayer HUGE + 2xplayer Large and see how that works out.

If anyone has any additional insights into tuning this combat tonight or tomorrow morning, I would be most appreciative.
