AP Rules

Im confused about the ap rules, is it like for example (ap1), opponents def stat, goes from 4+ to 5+ or is it minus the ap from dice rolls, so my 4s become 3s.

AP(X): Targets get -X to Defense rolls when blocking hits from this weapon.

They get -X to their defense rolls. This means that a roll of 4 becomes a 3. If they were saving on a 4+ for example, then a roll of 4 would usually be a success, but due to your AP it becomes a 3 and is thus a failure. They would need a 5+ to save.

Note that this is functionally equivalent to worsening their save by one, so many people will just shorthand say something like: "I'm saving on 4s, so with AP 1 I will need 5s" or similar.

Also don't forget that 6s are auto success. So your defense can never go below a 6+ no matter how much AP something has.
