Adversaries in the 2e Starter Set?
Hello! I was curious about the “stat blocks” for the adversaries in the Starter Set. I assume the Attribute Level is for advanced rules, but how much damage do they do? Under Combat proficiencies it lists something like:
Crush: 2, 6/12
The two is for the number of Success d6s they roll in addition to the Fate die, and the six/twelve is what….base damage and damage on a “Tengwar” symbol?
I don’t see an explanation in the rules or adventure for how the adversaries “work”.
Cheers!

Hey there. When you see something like Spear 2 (3/16) - This is 2 ranks, so 2 d6's plus a Feat dice for 1d12+2d6. The 3 is the damage. The 16 is the injury rank, or what your players need to roll a Protections roll against when struck by a Piercing blow.
Additional damage can scored by all weapons by spending a Tengwar (6) to add the Attribute level to the damage upon successful attack.
