Strength Superiority
(Advanced rule)
If you defend against an opponent who is much stronger, has a heavier weapon or is simply bigger, you are at a clear disadvantage. This applies only to defending with a weapon (shield). Unarmed you do not have this problem (but you can have strength superiority against a defender with a shield / weapon).
Calculate your strength superiority:
| 5 per level of Str + weapon SS |
+1 for holding a one-handed weapon in two hands
-1 for holding a two-handed weapon in one hand
For each level of SS you are missing, you get a -2 penalty to WD and uncertainty.
