Is Running Away a Combat Roll?

[Last Pawn]

As is often the result of introducing a new player I've had my assumptions scrambled. The Room Icons, which govern whether a room is good or bad for a player, affect both Combat rolls and Search rolls. Got it. But the group mind had assumed that combat rolls were strictly the rolls that were added to a player's/monster's levels. Then the question of Running Away was brought up. Running Away is dealt with in the combat section of the rules, so does the roll to Run Away benefit/suffer from Room Icons?

No, when you roll to Run Away combat is over.

I agree that running away is not a combat roll, but I would like to know if you get an extra die to role with on your escape attempt if you are in a room that is 'good' for you.

Since it's not a combat roll, no, you don't roll an extra dice.

[MunchkinChick]

Yeah, but on a different thread I have just learned that if I am searching a room, which is good for me, I get an extra die to roll with. That is also not a combat situation, so where does the dividing line go?

Hope somebody can sort out my growing confusion.

Cheers,

The room icons affect "combat and search rolls". You can find this in the little box (p. 9 or so) that describes the icons themseves.

Quite right, it says so very clearly there. Great! Confusion dispelled!
