Rule clarification for multiple defenses

[cbalian]

Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm still pretty new to the game.

Question 1:
If you have multiple defenses, like Deflection Bracer + Cobra Reflexes can you use them BOTH on one attack or do you get only ONE defense roll PER attack?  Or a Bracer and a Scimitar or maybe even if you have 3 defenses can you use all 3?

Question 2:
If you are the Forcemaster and have a Deflection Bracer and a Force Field can you choose to use the deflection bracer and if the defense roll fails the attack would hit your Force Field or if you get attacked does it automatically hit the Force Field?  Was just thinking of a way to save FF counters if that is possible?

From the 2.0 Rulebook:

Important: A creature can never use more than one Defense against a single attack (even if it has multiple mandatory enchantments that are all revealed when it is attacked!). You must choose only one of the available Defenses to use each time the creature is attacked.

Force Field always comes first.

OK thanks so much!

If the same creature attacks you with double or triple strike can you use a deflection/avoidance against EACH one of those or since it is the same creature can you still only use 1 defense roll?  I "think" for a double attack each one counts as a separate attack correct?

If you do use a deflection bracer and you successfully deflect the attack does your damage shield still trigger or do those only trigger if you are successfully hit?

As long as you have an available Defense you can use it during any Melee strike (as long as it is a Defense against Melee attacks)

I would also note with the forcefield, I believe that activates before defenses, so if you have tokens those have to be used first, then you can decide on a defense.

Sike has it down.
