Outnumbered

(Back to Combat)

When a character is outnumbered by the opposition, the character is at a disadvantage. Once a character has either fought back or dodged in the present combat round, all subsequent melee attacks on them are made with one Bonus die. This does not apply to attacks made using firearms.

Characters and monsters that have more than one attack per round may also dodge or fight back that number of times before the Bonus die is applied. Thus a ghoul with three attacks can fight back three times before its attackers gain a Bonus die. Note that some Mythos entities can never be outnumbered by investigators.
