Rule Clarification: Opposed Tests With A TN

[DTH]

Hi

New to the game and just want to ensure that I have this ruling right:

If I use a CA with a TN of, say, 12, which is Resisted, I presume that I flip once and provided my total is over 12, then my target flips to resist my total score rather than flipping twice, once to cast and then once to attack.

That's an unwieldy statement, so let me clarify with an example;

1. My Lillitu uses Lure (Ca 7, TN 12, Rst Wp);

2. I flip to cast and pull 6 for a total of 13;

3. As this is over 12, Lure is cast; and

4. The target the flips to resist against my total of 13.

An opposed duel with a TN works the exact same way as a normal opposed duel, with the only difference being when it comes to the determine success step, you could still fail even if you are beating your opponents final duel total.

Both players flip at the same time during an oppossed duel. In practice, the attacker tends to flip first as they are announcing the action being taken and the defender reacts with their own flip but mechanically speaking the flips are simultaneous.

The player with the lower duel total has to cheat first, even if the TN for the action that caused the flip hasn’t been met. If duel totals are tied the defender cheats first.

As santaclaws01 wrote, there is only a single flip from the attacker. Not one to meet the TN and one to attack with.
