Coordinated attacks

[Alcamtar]

If you have a coordinated attack that combines a killing attack with a normal attack, how do they combine? For example, a sword coordinated with a punch, or an arrow that has a +2d6 EB charge attached.

 

First problem is that normal defenses apply to killing damage from normal attacks, but not killing attacks. If the killing damage is combined on a coordinated attack, do normal defenses apply or partially apply?

 

Second problem, we use hit locations to determine multipliers for STUN and BODY. In a combined attack with both normal and killing damage, does the attack count as killing or normal for purposes of location multipliers?

 

Thanks,

Hmmm, I’m not sure I understand the problem. Each the attacks involved in a Coordinated Attack applies against its relevant defenses in the regular manner, modified by Hit Locations as appropriate, and after you determine the total STUN damage the character takes after applying the relevant defenses to reduce each attack’s damage, add it together to find out if he’s Stunned.
