escaping zombie grip, 1 hand v 2

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

escaping zombie grip, 1 hand v 2

Unread post by Axelmania »

Page 58 talks about needing a combined PS that's 50% higher than a zombie's. It suggests around 36, which is 50% higher than 24 (the average of 18+2D6 is 25 though, so 38 is more realistic) but it also mentions that half the time a zombie grabs a victim 2 handed and half the time the zombie grabs a victim 1-handed...

Would it make sense to assume that the full zombie PS is with 2 hands, and that we should halve the required number if a zombie is using a 1-handed grip? Same requirement for people trying to help their buddy, of course. A combined PS of 18-19 seems a little more feasible, and it seems like there should be a tradeoff for zombies getting a free hand to punch you with, or a situation of 1 zombie using both hands to grab 2 separate people.
