MeleeDefenseProcedure

Defender-side procedure for melee contests. Built by MeleeProcedure with a hydrated defense basis and a mode: Standard or Full Defense.

Role in the system​

  • Defender step in a melee contest; never opens a new contest itself.
  • Accepts a pre-hydrated basis (attribute or skill) and mode via args.
  • Delivers the roll back to the contest service; does not self-publish.

Behavior​

  • Modes:
    • Standard: base dice + pool dice + karma.
    • Full: base dice + karma (pool dice excluded on the initial test).
  • Labels: title reflects Standard vs Full; flavor mirrors panel title.
  • Basis: setResponseBasis(basis) sets dice and metadata (attribute/skill, specialization).

API reference​

  • Construction: ProcedureFactory.Create("melee-defense", { actor, args: { contestId, basis, mode } }).
  • buildFormula(explodes = true): Computes total dice from basis/pool/karma and attaches TN.
  • shouldSelfPublish(): false; defender replies via deliverContestResponse.
  • getKindOfRollLabel() / getPrimaryActionLabel(): reflect Standard vs Full defense.
  • getFlavor() / getChatDescription(): human-readable summary.
  • async execute({ OnClose? }): Runs roll, packs metadata into roll JSON (basis and mode), delivers contest response.
