Zen and the art of Thugging

[Sombre]

And to add to that - it wouldn't matter if you hit them with the repel if they have high morale. They are only stopped if the 1 damage from successful repel to hit roll + successful damage vs prot roll kills them (as with dragonflies) or they fail their morale test. If you're against stuff with bad morale and you have high att and a long weapon, repel pretty much stops them hitting you.

That's how I understand it to work, anyway. So being good at repels only helps an SC if he's against things with shorter weapons which will suffer badly from taking 1 damage (and have lowish prot) or have bad morale.
