The above assumes OCV 2. The third panel shows a miss, assuming the target DCV is taken into account. See pages 94-95 of the Basic book for details.

With a target roll of 14, the attacker total OCV is 3, no ?
So with a roll score of 10, it hits target with DCV 4 or less. Am I wrong ?

Enhancement.

Margin (of success) covers the DCV use case explicitly. When we support targeting and attack automation, being more explicit makes sense.

Until then, margin of success = DCV hit as well as being useful for contests of skills or for when the GM doesn't want to reveal the difficulty of a task (or the DCV of the opponent).

Example: an OCV 7 character that executes a Killing Strike maneuver (-2 OCV) automatically calculates to a 16- roll, and the result calculates the margin of success (which = DCV) accurately. Tested with mulitple OCVs and maneuvers and no errors detected.

Then "Margin" should be replaced by "DCV Hit". As it stands it is confusing.
