Playtest thoughts

Had a few thoughts after our conversation last night... Was thinking you could choose either Offensive attack or Defensive attack. Both people can be on the defensive or both people can be on the offensive. however, an offensive attack adds 1 to the damage but damage saves are more difficult for them, should they get hit that turn. Defensive attacks grants an easier damage save but lose one from damage.
So A and B are fighting. A is making and offensive attack and B is making a defensive attack. If A wins by 1 success, his damage is 2 (1 for the success and one for making and Offensive attack). However since B was on the defensive, his damage save is at +1 so it is easier for him to resist the damage. But if B wins by 2 success, he hits A for 1 damage. A has to make a damage save at -1.
It is possible to hit for 0 damage this way (possibly forcing a consciousness check) but if B has a weapon he will always do at least 1.
If both A and B are making an offensive attack whoever succeeds adds 1 to their damage and the loser saves at -1. If both are making a defensive attack both have a -1 damage but a +1 to save.
Make sense, Mike?
