Why the or?
Hi, oh Venomous One. I noticed that nasty looking "or" too, and posted a question for Jason on the Clarifications thread (stickied at the top). Hopefully he'll be getting back to us on it - that entire top bit of the Attack & Parry Matrix is a bit murky at the moment!

My guess is you've got something like "Attack fails and no damage is done and the shield takes 1 pt of damage", or on another row, "Attack succeeds but is blocked, roll your damage to see if it gets through the parrying weapon or shield, which takes 2 pts of damage anyway". It all needs a bit of clarification.

Cheers,

Sarah
