I have reviewed the group contest rules and the emails sent since and
come up with this:
- You can have multiple attackers on one person. That person only
gets one AP total but each attacker has their own. If My PC and Your
PC were beating on Julan the Coder (or being beat on as the case may
be) we would all track out own AP and make our own skill rolls. Julan
would have a multiple foe penalty. Does this make sense?
- If you switch foes, IE I ignore Joe Lunar to help You with Julan, me
AP stay the same as they were against Joe, but I an now fighting Julan.
I can help You by giving Julan a multiple foe penalty AND by slipping
you some APs. I now have a multiple foe penalty aswell because I am
fighting Joe and Julan. You are still fighting Julan and have no
penalties (except for the wounds he has given you) but should have an
easier time of it due to his new distraction (me!). Does this sound
right to you all?
Yours,
Wesley
