Fighting

+ Fighting + + Sometime, either because the GM aren't interested to take more + time than necessary or because the combat is too much a mess to + give a coherent description, it is more interesting to rule out a + fight quickly and simply taking into account the general intention + of the PC (to flee, to defend, to destroy everything) and to make + a single roll for the whole battle. This method try to address + this kind of situations, but as all generalization, take a good + judgement from the GM and a bit of preparation. + + Briefly, when there is a fight, each adversary decide of their + intentions for the rest of the + combat and the GM group each of them with their corresponding + choice. After this, the GM sum up all the whole group, which + became the Fighting Group, and roll the dice for each group + against this adversary (and yes, in a fight, we also fight against + yourself!). If an adversary is particularly strong, the GM can + exclude her from the Fighting Group and roll the dice for this + particular adversary. But this should be a rare case. The result + is then determine normally with the result. + +
