-[[:Game Mechanics:Attack#Attack|Attack]] is a mechanical term and type of roll.

 An [[:Game Mechanics:Attack#Attack|Attack]] is rolled when a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Character]] performs an action against another [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Character]], [Vehicle] or specific [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Target]].

-**Example**: Johnny Tutorial is performing an [[:Game Mechanics:Attack#Attack|Attack]] against Phil Heel using an [[:Skills:Athletics]] [[:Items:Equipment:Weapons|Weapon]]. The [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Game Master|GM]] agrees and prompts that this is an [[:Skills:Athletics]] [[:Game Mechanics:Attack#Attack|Attack]] against Phil's [[:Ratings:Defence]]. Johnny then assembles his [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool]], adding his D4 [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Job Die]] and +9 from his [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Rank|Ranks]] in [[:Skills:Athletics]]. Johnny rolls a [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Result]] of 17 on his D20 and 4 on his D4, added together with his [[:Skills:Athletics]], Johnny gets a [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Total]] of 30. Phil's [[:Ratings:Defence]] is only 21, even with a [[:Basic Abilities:Dodge]] increasing it to 24, Johnny's [[:Game Mechanics:Attack#Attack|Attack]] of 30 is greater and therefore a [[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Success]]. Johnny can then resolve the [[:Game Mechanics:Damage]] of his [[:Items:Equipment:Weapons|Weapon]] against Phil.+<WRAP round box>
