Questions about Attributes

[microbiome]

Hi Folks,
I have a few newbie questions about the implementation of Attributes:
1. In Welcome to the Arena, for the 4 characters there are number in brackets (either a 1 or 2) after the ST value, ex. Warrior ST11(2).  I don't see this used in any reference in the rules or the other scenarios.  What does the number in brackets after strength indicate?  
2. Does Armor Restriction impact all DX rolls including 3/DX for Attacking?  I have been assuming it is all rolls.
3. If a Mage/Wizard misses his attack (i.e rolls >3 IQ), does he still lose fatigue?  I have been assuming fatigue is used only if the attack was successful.

Thanks for your help.

Hey, microbiome,

Welcome to the boards!

I have 2.5 answers to your 3 questions:

1. Here's the .5 part. I'm thinking this is an error, because I don't know what it is supposed to be. I seem to remember an error like this from a few years ago, somehow it sneaked in on George. I'll ask to make sure, but I am sure it is a weirdly consistent error. Just ignore it, we'll get a correct version on the website this week.

2. Yes! You assumed correctly.

3. No! You assumed correctly.

Thanks for giving us a try, hope to see you around more!

Thanks for the quick reply. I am finding things rough so far with my party. Wizard/healer was taken out in the first battle with orcs in the High Mountains and the others on the brink of going down (1-3 points left). My dice rolls are legendarily bad; except it seems when I roll for the monsters.
