Can attacker choose to roll 0 dice?
Hi all,
My group played Oath today for the first time and we loved it; looking forward to the next session.
One question regarding combat, reading the laws we understood that the attacker can choose to roll dice up to the number of warbands on their board; this means that they can choose to roll 0 dice, right? And then kill warbands accordingly to success in the combat.
For example, imagine I have 8 warbands on my board, and I’m targeting the bandits in only one site. Nobody uses battle plans. So bandits will have defense equals to 1 + 1 dice. I choose to roll 0 dice. Then bandits roll blank. So I kill 2 warbands, so my attack is higher than bandits’ defense, and choose to put 1 warband on the site. Final status: I have 5 warbands on my board, and 1 warband on the site, ruling it from now on.
Is that legal? I’m not discussing strategies of why I would want to do that, just wondering if it’s a valid move.
Thanks in advance, guys :)
