Ah haaa... I see the issues now. Man, I really need to play with some experienced guys to see how the rules "really" work rather than my konked-up perception.

The intent would be the -1 Armor and blast markers before resolution, though.

Thanks for your patience. :\

Actually, come to think of it, I think I'll put this whole idea on hold until I can rope in some people from outside my circle to make sure there's an understanding of what is what...

Sometime in the future, though!
