TV Action Violence

If struck by a potentially lethal
attack (including a rapid-fire attack
that inflicts multiple hits), the hero
can choose to convert his failed
defense roll into a success. This costs
him 1 FP and he loses his next turn.
The hero cannot spend FP to avoid
unarmed attacks or melee or thrown
weapon attacks that inflict crushing
damage (or no damage, such as a
grapple), unless they would hit the
skull or neck. Likewise, he cannot
avert attacks on his weapons or non-
living possessions.
With this rule in effect, those
involved in a fight with lethal weapons
“duck for cover” and are forced “onto
the defensive” until they’re exhausted.
