To be honest I've never even considered rolling once for the whole group. <br /><br />I also count running away as being incapacitated for the purposes of triggering another moral roll. If one goblin is defeated, and two run away, the remaining three roll a second moral check. The the multitude of dice hitting the table adds something to the moment of panic.BlUsKrEEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050270487818381832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-47066494793675375772010-08-02T17:42:14.330-06:002010-08-02T17:42:14.330-06:00Anything less than the whole group is needlessly c...Anything less than the whole group is needlessly complicated, except in rare circumstances, in my opinion.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-11854086225154350292010-08-02T16:31:43.731-06:002010-08-02T16:31:43.731-06:00I use the B/X Morale rules for OD&D and roll f...I use the B/X Morale rules for OD&D and roll for the whole group unless there's some reason not to.
