Re: [ORE] [WT] Combat example with Interference

All Interference mechanically does is essentially "This roll gets parsed before all other rolls, regardless of width BUT it must be for opposing other rolls". Interference effectively makes something have infinite width for speed purposes, but only for opposing rolls.

The "any and all attacks" is part of Duration, not Interference. Without Duration, defends powers just give you gobble dice for the round. With Duration, you get gobble dice against each and every attack the Defend could block. Interference just makes it so the "each and every attack the Defend could block" means "all attacks".

Where do you get that? I am under the impression that if you have Interference and it is active, at any given time that it is active it subtracts its width from any and all attacks. If you don't have Duration/Endless/Permanent, it would be limited speedwise, as a wider attack would go before your activation of the defense.

So, if I declared my 2hd Defends as my action in round 1, and attacks A and B were both faster than 2 w, then my Interference defense would totally fail, as activating my defense would happen after they hit me. But, if I had 3hd in defends with Interference and activated on turn one, I'd stop an infinite number of width 2 attacks. This is one of the strong benefits of Interference.

Interference works a bit different if you have Duration or not, which is important to note.

Let's say you've got 2HD in a Defends with Interference Power.

If you're attacked by someone who gets 2 3 width sets, interference means you get two gobble dice to use in the round before any other rolls are parsed. So even though your opponent's sets are wider than yours, you can gobble them pre-emptively. So you can reduce one of those 3x10s to a 1x10(a failure), and only got hit by one attack.

If you added the Duration extra on, you'd get those two gobble dice against *all* attacks. So you could reduce both sets to 1x10 failures and take no damage from either attack.

Defenses with Interference decrease attack rolls as they are made, before any contest of skills and before any damage is taken. Even if your set is wider/faster, my Interference protects me.

So, If I have 2hd HA with Interference and you have 10d and blast me and you get a set of 2 or 3 matching dice, your attack fails to harm me. If you roll four sevens, I gobble the first two of them even though your set is wider and faster, and you have 2x7 left. If your attack width is 5x, then 3x gets through.
