Such a noob question - but I got to ask.

[Biadetic]

Hey, feel silly having this, but I just want to confirm.

Casting stuff. Is this correct.

Example, I have to cast a spell which requires a Resist: WP. Do I: Attempt to cast, flip for starting total, then have the option to either Cheat and/or Soulstone. If successful, the target has to make a WP resist beating my total casting?

Example 2: If my model says that this model and target model make a Wp -> WP duel, do I:

We both flip for starting totals, current loser has option to cheat and /or soulstone, followed by the other player with the same options.

I only ask because we got alittle confused during a game in which someone attemptd a spell with a resist, and as he was casting, we done the resist at the same time taking it in turns to cheat / SS.

Thanks guys.

Yes to the first. Yes to the second.

Right, casting spells are not opposed duels.

The caster generates a total first and then the defender needs to resist. Thematically consider it the caster having to channel the energy to the spell before knowing what the defender will do.

It's also important to note, as you mentioned, that a resist total must beat the casting total in order to resist the spell. Unlike most other simple duels, ties in a resist duel are in favor of the attacker (making it more like an opposed duel, in that regard).
