Default Re: Multiple Repels?

There are times when you guys are driving me nuts...
There's nothing to "I think" about it. That's how the devs say it works. Read carefully:

The check for repel is made for each ATTACK, and takes in account the longest weapon the defender has. (Manual page 14, 6.2.2 Repel)

Repell will never deal more than 1 p damage.


A unit CAN get more than 1 point of damage per combat turn from repel: If it has more than 1 attack.
Last time I checked, soulless have either fist or claw(29), both of which have only 1 attack.

So either you have miss-observed, or the devs don't know how their game works, or it's a bug.
