No resist damage

[thunderwolf]

If an action has a tn but no resist does target just suffer damage and no reduction from armour incorporeal etc

and could it still soulstone to reduce

Such as jack daw whispered truths or unquiet soul ?

If there's no Resist stat, only model makes a duel and you only compare against the TN to determine success.  The absence of a Resist stat doesn't mean "Nothing can be done to resist the effects of this action." 😕

From the rules:

Quote

If a duel doesn’t have a Resist stat, it is a simple duel.

If a duel has a Resist stat, then it is an opposed duel. Opposed duels involve two different models each making a duel and then comparing their final duel totals to determine a victor.

A side effect of being a simple duel is that there's no accuracy fate modifier (the difference between the duel total and the TN doesn't matter).  But that's pretty much the only difference.

The 2 damage that Denial trigger on Jack Daw's Whispered Truths trigger causes is subject to Armor because says "Reduce all damage suffered by this model" (to a minimum of 1 because of the default damage reduction rules).  Incorporeal doesn't apply to it because Whispered Truth isn't an Attack Action.

So anything that does damage from say a tactical action isn’t affected by incorporeal as they aren’t attacks ?

Yes. Incorp only reduces from attack actions

Yep.  If it’s completely baffling why they’d set that up…

In the previous edition, actions had a spell casting, melee, or shooting tag on their stat, and Incorporeal reduced damage from everything but spell casting actions by half.  This edition got rid of those tags, and the designers settled on the new version as less extreme (and thus easier to balance).
