I can't find a rule on what happens if PC's encounter more than one source of fear and/or terror

E.G. , one creature with Fear 1 fine

(a) That creature plus another creature with Fear 1?

(b) A Fear 2 and Terror 2?

Making only the worst check means a Terror 2 alone is as scary as with other sources (not good), making multiple checks is a bit tiresome.

Did anyone ever ask about this or find a rule?

I think I would go with "make worst and add misfortune dice = total fear or terror ratings of others".

E.G. (a) is Fear with with a misfortune die, (b) is Terror 2 with two misfortune dice.

I can see where you're coming from but part of me just thinks. Scared out of your wits is scared out of your wits

If you're not happy with simply gong with the worst (ie highest terrror) then I'd say your misfortune die is not going to be a game changer. But then I'd be wondering why 2 creatures at fear 2 are not more than four creatures at fear 1 (factoring in misfortune die). Or would you give extra misfortune for additional creatures? Anyway sounds like your games are gonna get real scary really quickly, which speaking as a GM is no bad thing

I think the fear/terror check is against the target type and you roll against the highest, terror before fear.

I do not know what comes first a fear 2 or a terror 1.

Your basically just checking you character isn't running in fear. Failing a terror 2 creature and passing a fear 3 creature, doesnt seem likely you stay to fight the fear 3 while the terror 2 is nearby.

Hope this reply makes sense. Picked up some flu type bug and my common sense decided to take a trip to fever land.

Easiest solution might be to just combine the ratings, selecting the highest value from each? So in a fight iwth a Terror 1 monster and a Fear 2 monster you do one Terror 2 check? Allthouh adding Misfortune for additional enemies also sounds like a good idea.

Thinking on this in a more sane mind. *Sigh* I hate fevers.

Looks like they have to make a check for terror, then a test for fear.

But in a group of Fear monsters, its the highest fear, and in a group of terror monsters it be the highest

Example

Group 1

Fear 1

Fear 2

Group 2

Terror 1

Terror 2

Group 3

Fear 1

Fear 2

Terror 1

Terror 2

So if you meet group 1 it be a fear 2 check only

If meet group 2 it be a terror 2 check only

if meet group 3 it be a fear 2 and a terror 2 check.

The reason for this is the penalty if they fail is harsher on a fail of a terror.

So I think you can only have a max of one fear and one terror in an encounter, until a higher rating comes into the combat as a surprise, then a recheck needs to be done.
