Ag and Pw

[mwjergs]

I thought I had read somewhere that some people used a house rule when rolling either (pw) or (ag). I forget what it was but it didn't just follow the "number same or higher" rule.

Hi!

You may be referring to the one in which (ag) and (pw) moves use the following process. The wrestler attempting the move must roll a 6 or less, minus the opponent's trait rating.

So, if the opponent has a (pw) of -2 and Wrestler A rolls a move with the (pw) tag, then the target number is 4 or less. However, this rule also states that you "flip"/reverse the acting wrestler's trait and add it to the target number. So, in the above example, if Wrestler A had a (pw) of +1, then you'd subtract 1 from the target number, for 3 or less on the dice.

Or, if Wrestler A had a (pw) -3, then you'd add 3 to the target number, making it (6 - 2 + 3) 7 or less on both dice.

Personally, the way I do it (and some of the others as well), is that instead of that whole "flip"/reverse thing, you just add/subtract that number from the roll itself.

Example: The opponent has an (ag) of -1, making the target number (6 - 1) 5. However, Wrestler A has an (ag) of -3. Rolling both dice, Wrestler A rolls a total of 7. However, 7 - 3 = 4, which beats the target number of 5.

OK.
So I guess the idea is that just because you are weaker or less agile than your opponent you still have a chance to hit your move. In some cases following the official rule, wrestlers who match up poorly are at a disadvantage on a few moves on the card.
I may give it a try.
