3.7.4. Combatants attacking an unaware combatant with a Class 2 or 3 weapon must shout “Two” with a two-handed Class 2 swing, “Three” with a one-handed Class 3 shot, and “Double” if with two-handed Class 3 attack as appropriate. If the weapon class is not called, the combatant should consider a successful strike to cause a single hit.
If the weapon class is not called, the combatant should consider a successful strike to cause a single hit.
I find this sentence problematic. It is often possible to tell whether a hit is one or two-handed based upon the force with which the shot was delivered or by observing the person who hit you AFTER you were hit (If someone is running behind a line stabbing/swinging everyone with a double, it's safe to assume that you were also hit by a double even if it wasn't expressly called).
There is no reason for which someone should take a single when they determine through observation that they should have taken a double.
If the weapon class is not called, and the combatant can not determine whether a single or double hit was delivered, the combatant should consider a successful strike to cause a single hit.
This makes significantly more sense to me. Thoughts?
