Now by the rules of oppositiong the second guy win the resoiltuion by rolling higher, yet under his skills.
Then his success gets downgraded to a failure since the first guy did succeed.
Is that how it works?  |
Yep, by my reckoning that's exactly what the rule-as-written says. Unfortunately. Any other interpretation is speculation.
By the way, I didn't think CoC had this Opposed Roll mechanism (but I only have 2nd-ed and don't play much), so has it been imported from Elric!/Stormbringer?
