Post by: Phillus on May 03, 2015, 07:48:44 PM

When a person is guarding can they roll Defense?

If they have a defense, certainly they may. Guarding only affects which objects may be melee attacked in the guard's zone, grants counterstrikes, and allows for interception if the creature guarding has the Intercept trait. Guarding does not change any characteristics of the target. Also, note that even if the defense is successful and there is no attack dice rolled, the guard still will counterstrike.

For further research you may read up on Guarding on page 29 of the English Rules. You may also read about Avoiding Attacks on page 4 of the Official Rules and Codex Supplement, and about Guarding on page 10 of the Official Rules and Codex Supplement.
