Advanced Moves that do extra damage, like Smite or Merciless…these apply to dealing damage via the Defend move as well, correct?

In my game they do
“When you deal damage…”
I can only assume it does 🙂
Defending, Hacking and Slashing, Volley. Stabbing someone in the butt when they’re not looking, dropping a bag of hammers from a sixth-story window, suplexing them through a plate glass window. Â Whatever you’ve got.
For a high level character with the right advanced moves, do you do more average damage when defending than during H&S?
You’d need to be above [0.5 class damage] for that. Â So a level 6 Paladin. Â And this ain’t DnD 4 or anything; “average” isn’t as big of a deal when nothing has 100+ HP.
Does this become a problem? I mean, does Defending become tactically superior to H&S at some point, so players will just constantly Defend?
For classes like wizards that can happen fast
I don’t think it is a problem because when you defend, then you usually do that in lieu of something else.
A Wizard that doesn’t cast spells isn’t a very fictionally efficient Wizard, and the wizard is the only one to have a d4 for damage.
The Cleric follows the same logic, Bards can’t defend themselves and boost his allies at the same time, and the Druid either defends or spends his hold. Either way, all classes that has a d6 or worse can usually do better than deal [level] damage.
That’s how I see it at least.
well a singing bard might be able to defend and sing at the same time.Â

Tim Franzke Well, I think it’s generally better to let the individual group decide on these things.
Also, I really see no problem with this, as it kind of rewards players for having a high constitution for classes that aren’t close combat monsters.
I see no problem with letting a bard play a flute while dodging around an enemy combatant.
Fan of the characters and all. Don’t punish them for using the abilities that make their characters cool 🙂
EDIT: Made a “there they’re their” mistake!
