Basic Chart Choices

[Leon]

The rules say:

"This rule applies when the instructions into the ropes, into the turnbuckle, out of the ring, or deathjump are followed by a (c). This means that the player has a choice to try the move or roll again. If the player decides to go ahead wih the move, then the opponent checks the proper chart and rolls to see what happens. If the player decides not to try the move, then he rolls again at the previous offensive level."

Can the player keep rerolling if he keeps getting the same (c) result and does not want to try that move?

If it's followed by a (c), either the player can go for the move or roll up. So, for example, if the character has deathjump (c) on level 3 offense, either they can go for the deathjump or roll on level 2 offense.

Oh, the wrestler rolls on the lesser offense chart if rerolling? I may have been doing my matches wrong.

Example: Wrestler A rolls "into the ropes (c)" on level 2 offense. He can either try to throw the opponent into the ropes or "roll up" and roll again on level 1 offense. Theoretically you could have a  guy go from level three "out of the ring(c)" to level 2 "into the ropes (c)" to a level 1 offense roll doing this.

Wow, I have been playing that wrong for 30 years.

Just...wow.

I try to add some realism to my game. If I roll "deathjump (c)", I'll only go for the deathjump if the wrestler has a top-rope move on his card. Because not everyone climbed the turnbuckle.

And I'll definitely throw into ropes/turnbuckle if the opponent's rating is "C".

Right? Well, granted I only started playing last week (though only because I forgot about all those CotG ads in Pro Wrestling Illustrated that I kept looking at for years)... Glad that was what was meant by "previous offense level" in the rules.
