Multiple Monsters
When fighting multiple monsters do the levels combine as in the card game or do they remain separate?

Re: Multiple Monsters
They combine.

Re: Multiple Monsters
And remember that each monster also contributes its number of dice, so it's not only the combination of levels you're up against :)

Re: Multiple Monsters
Is this in the rules anywhere? The only reference I find to fighting multiple monsters says "you fight them as a group." Well, that's great, but then there are zero rules on what that means. Examples and explanations are your friends, rules-writing boys and girls!

Regardless, a single Monster gets at least one die in combat. That's clear, is it not? If you're supposed to combine the Monsters and fight them as a group, how would you otherwise work that out, especially given that you're told you can not fight them individually? There are other statements in the rules which imply, to varying degrees, how this works, at any rate. Could it be better? Yes. Can we fix it? Sure, given time. |

Re: Multiple Monsters
This would be one of those places where we get more than a heavy implication on how combat works with one or two munchkins and one or more Monsters:

Re: Multiple Monsters
When killing multiple monsters in a single combat, do you go up a level for each kill or one level for all of them (before applying special circumstances such as modifiers and fearsome bonuses)?
All the examples in the rules seem to refer to a monster (singular). Last edited by Allzermalmende; 01-25-2010 at 10:27 PM. |

Re: Multiple Monsters
You gain appropriate rewards for killing each monster in the fight. (I'm pretty sure the rules are explicit on that point, but I don't have the rulebook with me.) The examples refer to a single monster because it would be cumbersome to keep adding "for each monster in the fight" over and over, and because most fights are with a single monster.

Re: Multiple Monsters
Thank you for clearing that up, if you could just confirm on some special circumstances as well (I got into a huge argument with a friend last game and promised them to get this in writing).
If a Helper who is an Elf helps to kill multiple monsters in a single combat, does it go up a level for each monster they helped kill or only one for all of them? If you kill two fearsome monsters by yourself in a single combat, do you go up 2, 3, or 4 levels? If a Helper helps to kill two fearsome monsters in a single combat, do they go up 1 level or 2? If a Helper who is an Elf helps to kill a fearsome monster and a non-fearsome monster in a single combat, do they go up 1 level or 2? |
