Weapon Skill 0 - What happens?

[boagrius]

Yes but i did put her on the ground and you can't fight from the ground so.... she was WS 0.

And stop it, I feel bad hitting her so hard she had to ride the short bus home.

Umm, didn't she ride back in your minivan? Is that the Galatian short bus? Does Boagrius drive the Galatian Short Bus around!?!?!

[MorGrendel]

I rode a short bus once. It smelled and the windows couldn't be opened, so YES.

[Titus]

If I remember right, you were the one causing the smell.

In the sage wisdom that is Dan, when I pitched this to him his response was something like: Attacks is a Characteristic. If Attacks is zero, then the character has no attacks. Otherwise, they can attack.

Subsequentially: Weapon skill is just a measure of offensive and defensive prowess. 6's always hit, whether you are substantially bad or your opponent is signicantly better. WS zero's effect is that it makes a character unable to defend themself, hence, they are automatically hit.

That seems as clean an argument as I can figure.

[boagrius]

I concur, under that presentation i would agree.

[Fritz]

It would seem we have a concensus for our group. Thank you Serban for bringing this up for discussion.

[Titus]

I had the same thought along Dan's, I was just to lazy to get into the discussion about it.
