Nerdwerds: There are 4 ways I could have done the harm move. All 4 are reversals of the other moves. I had to choose which reversal I'd go with.
Way 1: The way I did it. Player rolls+Harm. The reversal is that the player hopes to roll low.
Way 2: The way you're proposing. Player rolls-Harm and hopes to roll high. The reversal is that the player subtracts instead of adds.
Way 3: The MC rolls+Harm and hopes to roll high. The reversal is that the MC rolls.
Way 4: The player rolls+Harm and hopes to roll high. That is, on 10+, it's not as bad as it seemed; on 7-9, choose 1; on a miss, choose 2. The reversal is that the higher the Harm, the less its effect.
I don't think any of them are really worse or better than any other, but I happened to choose #1.
