You are right.

By the way, I think the rules about stable/unstable damage are as follows:

• At 6:00 or before, the damage is stable and it will heal on its own;
• At 9:00, the damage is stable but it will not heal on its own;
• Past 9:00, the damage is unstable and it will worsen, unless it is treated somehow.

An angel can make unstable damage stable, of course, but you, as the MC, could also decide whether any given NPC could stabilize damage as well, as it makes sense with the fiction.

I hope I am right. ;-)

Everybody else, sorry for the off topic.

We, in Italy, usually use the Hx reset custom move you can find at this link:

When someone else resets their Hx with you, choose 1:
* Tell them a secret about yourself.
* Tell them about some habit you have, annoying, endearing, or otherwise.
* Tell them how you are vulnerable.
* Tell them what you really think about something they care about.

The reason why this move is so common among Italian players is Narrattiva, the Italian Apocalypse World publisher, added it to the Italian rulebook as an example of custom move.

Thank you for your answer!

I asked this question on the “Dungeon World Tavern” too, and there I got a more varied answer (the last one is from Adam Koebel):

My rule of thumb is "nothing stacks with itself unless it specifically says otherwise". So no.

After two attacks from the Paladin the target is most likely dead.
But the name Setup Strike suggests it doesn't stack.

Describe it in the narrative. Explain with your character how it does or doesn't stack.?

Yes, I’ll handle it case by case, like Rubberduck said, if everyone at the table is comfortable with it.

Just consider special moves, in my opinion, are about trust and willingness, therefore every player should decide if their special moves applies or not in a similar circumstance.

Wow! I can’t wait to know more of it! ;)

No, it’s just the Keeper has some harm moves to do when someone gets hurt (both PC, NPC or monster). With this move the Keeper has to pick the harm move from that list as if it was 1 level lower. Let’s say I’ve just got 1-harm scratch from a zombie; the Keeper normally could pick an harm move for me from the 1-harm or more list. With this move he cannot, he has to pick a harm move from the 0-harm list.

Is it clear to you, now?
