Multi-Action Clarification

PostDateIcon Mon, 10/29/2012 - 11:46am | PostAuthorIcon DwD Studios

(originally asked by Andrew Scott on G+)
Multiple actions -- Is a hard limit reached by reducing the skill in question to 0? If that's the case, could a minotaur attack me three times on its turn, max? Tangentially, are creatures capable of making multiple attacks or do they follow the minor NPC rule??

Answer: 

Yes a hard limit is reached when you multi-action down to 0%. The automatic success/failure rule (page 26) only applies to actions with a "reasonable" chance of success. Something with a 0% chance to succeed isn't reasonable.

Regarding critters: Creatures can indeed take multi-actions. Many have more than one type of attack shown in the list, and they get multi-action penalties if they use more than one just like a PC would. Only minor NPCs are bound to the one-attack-only rule. It's so we can have fun mopping up the floor with mooks now and then. Wimpy creatures like goblins and kobolds tend to lack the skill to pull off more than one attack anyway, so it's pretty universal.
