Multi Opponent Combat

[Middian]

How does this work with archery? Do you get the 1 shot at 2 oponents at 5 ranks and double shot at 30 ranks or do you just get the defense from the force on force?

Thanks

MOC does nothing for archery. MOC can only provide FoF defense for an archer. I think you're thinking of cman multifire, but mfire is unaimed and slower than a similar number of aimed shots.

I picked up one rank of mfire just to try it out. Used it maybe three times and dumped it.

Perfect thanks.

I have a log on here somewhere of shooting a griffin and a seer fatally in the face at the same time.
But yeah it is pretty rubbish apart from lucky shots.

Yes, I have read how horrible Multi-shot is as a CMAN. I was just wondering if MOC allowed us the same attacks as a melee weapon. FoF is nice, but I dont know how many ranks I would train in past 5.

So 5 ranks is pretty much "good enough" for the defensive side of this skill, yes?

[Middian]

No, at least 10 ranks for the first tier of FoF and 25 ranks for the second tier, inceased by 15 for each additional tier.

It should be noted that the bonuses are not discrete like lores and other training... Each rank will yield an incremental bonus.

For example, if the DS pushdown is 10 for 2 critters in the room, you'll notice a 1 DS increase from a single rank of MOC, and fully negate the penalty at 10 ranks, but each rank matters.

Great info, thanks.
