Hi,
I need some explanation about the rules of losing hit points after the duel with a monster.
Let's say, my hero (6 hit points, 1 melee, 0 magic) is fighting with Crouching Skeleton (1 hp, 3 melee, 0 magic), Skeleton attacks, so he uses his melee abilities.
We throw a dice:
Skeleton's got five, so his score is 3 [melee] + 5 [dice] = 8
Hero's got six, so his score is 1 [melee] + 6 [dice] = 7
So, skeleton wins, as far everything is clear.
No we come to count the wounds, and here is a problem.
One person I'm arguing with, says, that because Skeleton won the dice rolling, the special effect is active, and my hero achieves one wound. So, after the duel, hero's got 5 hit points.
My way of thinking is a bit different: I say, when I lose duel (after dice rolling) I receive a wound (a basic wound). At this moment hero's got 5 hit points. Then, because he received a wound in melee duel, the special effect on melee is activated; it says "infliets one wound", so hero receives another wound. After the duel he's got 4 hit points.
Which way of thinking is the right one?
Thanks in advance
C.
