I do have a couple of questions Per, mostly regarding the auto-hit policy. Now, I know that it's completely against the rules in general, but, for example, the spell Fire Dragon's Grip Strike is in essence a auto-hit attack- how would that be ruled, and how would it wrote out in an RP?

Second: using my applicant in this example because it does pertain to him, one of his spells has a slight amount of auto-hitting in it; now in the last DSR RP I wrote it out when he used it that out of a flurry of punches only a few landed, or even grazed my opponent, is that allowed?

Lastly: the wiki's auto-hit policy doesn't cover aspects such as these. From what I can tell a auto-hit is confirmed if one character attacks, it lands, the opponent takes damage and is given no chance to avoid said hit, correct? Here is an example I would like you to mull over as to if it's an auto-hit or not, I'm going to use my DSR applicant in the example:

''Vance launched himself at his opposition, disappearing from sight. He appeared again behind his opponent, and grabbed them by the back of their head and forced it towards the ground.''

This example shows auto-contact but doesn't describe any damage being done and still offers the opposition the chance to counter. Is this kind of writing acceptable, or does it constitute auto-hitting?

I'm only asking these question for my own sake so that I don't have a repeat from last year. Thanks Per.
