I experimented with this change at the Mass Combat we had last game and found it to be extremely successful so I’m making a post about this so that everyone is aware for any future planned encounters.
The Rules as Written as per page 282 are that:
During an individual round, a character can only be targeted
by a limited number of attacks:
• One Social attack
• One Mental attack
• Up to two Physical attacks
Realistically this often means that those with Celerity who can act on a higher initiative are able to both get the first hits in as well as getting additional rounds to do further attacks. As such, this rule will no longer be applicable in PVE encounters. Players may choose to gang up on the same character as they wish, however NPCs may use the same tactics upon noticing this.
This rule will still be active for Player vs Player encounters in order to promote fairness and allow player choice.
