Scott showed up to this meeting with a full list of combat questions he’d hit while actually writing the section — dodge limits, dice explosions, firing modes, range bands. We worked through all of it.
Highlight: what a die explosion on an attack actually does mechanically got Deighton genuinely excited once we landed on it. And range bands (Close/Short/Medium/Long/Extreme) turned out to be the cleanest design win of the year, according to D himself.
